Could you put a funky head on in it's place like the face of Bozo the Clown, an animal or something from a religious statue? If he's seated, could he be holding his head in his lap? So many possibilities! Yup, thinking about what makes me smile in my yard is a great way to avoid actually doing all of the work that it needs to have done. <br /><br />outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-61119586228189473962013-01-30T13:14:56.950-08:002013-01-30T13:14:56.950-08:00What a lovely post.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what made you happy--and now, you've inspired me to spend some time thinking the same about my garden. Thank you!

We need a new Buddha.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643317297830165273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-27423939242230377932013-01-30T07:30:13.418-08:002013-01-30T07:30:13.418-08:00Those seed heads catch the sun (when we get it) so...Those seed heads catch the sun (when we get it) so beautifully.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-73381911530766807152013-01-30T07:29:38.873-08:002013-01-30T07:29:38.873-08:00It is beautiful but because it grows effortlessly ...It is beautiful but because it grows effortlessly in alleys and abanoned places it isn't held in high esteem by some folks.

I draped them in beaded garland, and added a tiny star on top. They weren't as gay as your tree, but they looked charming on the front porch.<br /><br />Oh....and women of a certain age wear red hats and purple boas. My sister, the miliner, says they've ruined the market for red hats. They only want silly cheap ones, and no one else wants them at all. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-65263812424713272862013-01-29T13:00:50.217-08:002013-01-29T13:00:50.217-08:00Such a happy, positive post, it made me smile :)Such a happy, positive post, it made me smile :)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-43750143582010478732013-01-29T12:48:08.707-08:002013-01-29T12:48:08.707-08:00Glad you're happy...now I am, too.Glad you're happy...now I am, too.rickihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-76126928960463921792013-01-29T10:23:01.398-08:002013-01-29T10:23:01.398-08:00It's the first Christmas tree I'd ever see...It's the first Christmas tree I'd ever seen that was wearing a boa!
