A Door to somewhere???

Last week it was a bridge, this week it's a door! l saw it at one of our local Salvage Recycle shops in town. l don't go there that often as it is either too expensive OR l see something  LOVE and have to have, but it's STILL too expensive!!! So generally it's a good place to avoid!!!! But this time l DID call in and found a door!! l think (although l am no way certain) it's an old church door from one of our local surrounding areas. We have lots of little white wooden churches around here and several locally have been recently spruced up and upgraded. It looks very similar in style. Anyway regardless of what its origins are, l think it's rather gorgeous and perfect for our soon to be built da na NA.......courtyard! Well,........not 'soon to be built' more like........ 'one day down the track when we have nothing else to do courtyard!!!.

And it has all the right fancy wrought iron bits for what we have in mind

Just perfect!!! But for now it will sit in the barn until construction begins!

In the meantime, my mosaicing spurt is still going with my latest project being an old recycled basin which l have mosaiced (is that a word????? My Spell Checker keeps wanting me to put a 'k' in there, but Google tells me to ditch the 'k' so now l am confused!!)  and sunk into the garden under the birch trees (not a good place when all the leaves fall off l guess!!!)

l plonked a submersible water plant in a pot in the middle to hide the plug hole!

And l just need to paint the rim a different colour apart from its original rather clinical white.....l should have done that first probably but l was a bit keen to get it in the ground!

A few more understory plants to go around the edge so you can't see the edge and l shall see how it goes! l quite like it l think!

ln an ideal world l should like to see frogs and tadpoles in it but reality tells me it's going to fill up with dirt......smell.....or go green AND slimy....... empty out constantly due to evaporation.......cause the drowning deaths of several species of beetle and other insects and probably last three weeks then get pulled out!!!! Stay tuned!
