@Britesea you got me thinking now… I need to examine that fencing wire when I forgave it for being such a pain in the rear and see if I can use it for something. There isn't a lot of it, but I could possibly put it to use somewhere around the shed or garden...

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
I'm making very good progress today. That sheet is out, the metal thing on top of it was huge, but it's out, as well as blue thing. It wasn't a backpack, it was… something with a metal frame, about 3 feet long. That out let me get to this bag and I wasn't prepared for the contents… :eek:

I'm clearing the bit around the piece of tree now, so I can see about sawing it off if needed now. More pics later…

Dog's would love those bones :)

Maybe you can add it to the trellis you want to make for your roses?

It was you... :oops:Aw, thanks! It's nice to know that sharing that kind of experience helps to encourage others!:clap

I think they'd be a bit bland by now! :lol: I'm toying with the idea of keeping the skulls out there, just for a laugh. Maybe cross two of the long bones beneath one, mount it on the wall ;)

Decorate them! Google decorated skulls for more pictures and ideas.

Maybe… I planted out the roses along the stone wall, but I still want to do something over the steps. For now I'm going to put sunflower seeds there for a splash of colour this summer.

:hugs It's inspiring seeing and hearing what everyone gets up to and get done!
