A post in pictures (and some words, too)...
First, no picture, but the knife grinder came back through town. He sharpened my short branch loppers and long ones (secateurs?), and showed off his lovely spaniels. All five of them. What yummy dogs... I didn't take a picture because it seemed rude, somehow.
This morning, after the school run, I went to the car wash. Parking under the horse chestnut tree provides wonderful shade, and protection from rain, but the down side is poop. Lots and lots of bird poop. You might as well paint a huge target on the car...it was encrusted with nonprecious gems. One Deluxe Wash later, it looks like this:
Those of you who've been here may note that Little Blue Pogo is parked off to the side, NOT under the tree. I think I will keep that up for a few days at least!After the car wash, I had a quick wander through town and bought the cheap-o garden set that I thought about all last summer and saw again this past Saturday. It's plastic, but pretty, and for 29 pounds, I won't find anything nicer. Two chairs and a little table, perfect for mornings out in the front garden or afternoons in the main garden. It may have been plastic, but schlepping the box back to the parking garage from QS was a major pain! I should have brought my shopper to balance the box on.
Here's a chair, before assembly. Hmmmmm:
Now, here's the chair, after. Nice, I think...

First of all... YAY for clean cars! Somehow my van is currently decorated with non-precious gems, as well, even though I don't park under anything. They must have just had really good aim. Maybe a trip to the carwash is in order today...
Love the chair set, very cute. These pics are making me really miss your beautiful house and village. They're just so cozy.
OMG we have that same chair!!!! LOL Ours came with the table and another chair as well. Our table didn't last, but the chairs did. If I can remember I'll take a pic of our chair. I got ours from Joann's.
