Those fake flagstones are gorgeous, as is the new roof! We put a metal roof on our patio in 1994, and love it. "Maintenance-free" is one of my favorite phrases. "All you can eat" is DH's....I can sympathize with others' similar plights in the garden!!

My sock feeder fell in the pond the other day. I've officially given up on thistle feeders. The previous one just sat there full 'till the seeds had to be tossed, and I never saw a finch near it. I think the finches get so many fresh seeds from my crape myrtles and liquidambars that they aren't interested in feeders. They're all over my yard.

But in the interest of staying on the "backyard" topic (rather than discussing birds ;-}) I posted this in another thread but I can't resist throwing a photo in here on the off chance someone in CA hasn't already seen it...LOL! Just finished this mosaic ball, and I'm disgustingly pleased with how it turned out. I just grin every time I walk by it.
