Yard art Thursdays - sculpture accidental and on purpose

I'm linking up to Work of the Poet's Yard Art Thursdays. Check out the other Yard Art posts there!

I love the way my dh stacked our birch logs then the cut down slabs of bark that the sawmill cut off first before making boards out of the trees that we cut down. (The operator brought a portable sawmill right to our drive way - it was very cool and interesting.)

Next to the pile is the old porch footing - concrete cast in a nail bucket (bucket long gone), and a round metal "box" from the dump on top.

My neighbor piled some stones up on one of the stumps which is almost flush to the ground. I kept thinking of Mama Rabbit in Beatrix Potter when I was in my driveway.

The funny thing is that my neighbor had them stacked differntly until they fell down, and that time they looked like Jemima Puddle duck to me! Can you see Mrs. Rabbit?

  3. I was laying in bed last night going through my reader, Kathy, on my IPhone when I saw your post. Do you have any idea how lovely it was to see that post? I've missed you. I know that summer can be crazy! I love this post, and I am bookmarking this picture of the stones because it looks exactly like the mama rabbit -- even down to her dress. LOVE IT!

  5. I love your eye, Kathy! Both the wood pile and the stacked rocks are wonderful. The old porch footing is great, too!
