My entry for this week
I thought this week I would feature some lawn ornaments and fancy benches.




I’ve put together a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

What is the red item in the last photo, Cee? It’s really pretty but I have no idea what it is.
