Squid was enamored with the metal turtle - it's top shell comes off and provides a place to hide things.

Moo!

PAGSY: Fountains

We visited the PA Garden Show of York this weekend.  I wish I had unlimited funds to put some of this stuff in our yard!

The fountains were stunning!

The yellow sign states that you can DIY these copper leaves for only $3000.  For $15,000 they'll build and install it for you. 

 The above and below photos were the same company.  They were our favorite.  We really want the driftwood fountain.  And maybe the backyard swing.

Beautiful things: First spring flowers

Taking a short break from the Pen Show photos to celebrate the first flowers of the year at Pendragon house.

Of course, they just got snowed on, but that's a risk that early flowers run.
