Secrets in the Garden

May 18, 2008 urngarden.com

A glorious weekend, wrapped up in sunshine, baseball, skaters, flowers and a few surprises.

This morning, while strolling about the garden, I noticed that my compost barrel was missing. Compost on the ground, and the barrel? Gone. It’s a mystery.

Earlier this week: Clean up on aisle two. Who spilled the molasses?

Rocky got a hair cut. He was a shaggy mess. Before:

After:

So handsome! The following day, I took him to the vet for dental work, a cleaning supposedly. When I picked him up, the vet greeted me with a bag full of bloody teeth. 10 to be exact. Poor baby.

More baskets in the garden. My yard is so wrecked up this year, that the only digging I’m doing is in pots. Want color and a no fuss flower on your porch or patio? Pick up a pot of petunias. They are easy, hardy, fragrant, and fun!

And then finally, after 10 years here, I still jump when this neighbor comes to visit, but I work around him.

Memorial Ideas-Relay for Life

This weekend was the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fund raiser and memorial service celebration for cancer survivors as well as those who didn’t make it. The luminarias are lit around 9:00 and it’s a beautiful glowing tribute to our loved ones that passed on.

Butterfly Memorial Garden

We’ve had several schools call that are doing memorial gardens on the grounds. Tree dedication stones for a couple of kids that lost their dads. And today? A memorial stone to place in a butterfly garden to honor one of the teacher’s who’s lost a child.

The client didn’t want anything that looked too “cemetery-ish”.

A personalized river rock tucked in beside a butterfly bush is a lovely lasting tribute.

Back in Black

Motorcycle Urns are back at the Urn Garden after a brief absence. We’ve had many families looking for the “Back in Black” motorcycle urn, so we’re offering a basic steel tank painted in rich red satin, silver, or glossy black enamel. Topped with a decorative chrome gas cap, our motorcycle tank urn easily loads from the bottom with a removable plate. Great for families that plan to customize with a personalized memorial tribute.

Be safe out there.
