The past few days have been so sunny and warm

that the patio flowers are in full bloom

(click on photo for a better view)

 

and large bees, and butterflies spend

their days drinking up the nectar

and buzzing in and out.

Large lady bugs are in and out of the Brussels sprouts in the garden.

I have experimented more with cement............making mosaic garden stones.

I used real tree limbs for the tree .

I call this piece,

the Autumn Tree

I have also started working with color in the cement. While watching a documentary on the Grand Canyon, I was in awe of the beautiful layers of color within the walls. This inspired me to make this planter..............

and I finally figured out how to make a drain hole! Now these containers are very useful in my garden decor.

I also want to make a path to the pond. I am going to make a stone pathway like the one I showed you a couple of posts back, without the flower mosaics. But in the middle, I want to stagger these fish. I think they will make a great and interesting walk out to the pond.

Don't you?

The weather turned damp and chilly today, but by Thursday, it will once again be warm.

How about you?

What's blooming in your garden?

Do you have and creatures buzzing or fluttering about the petals?

I would love to hear!
