New Garden Toy

BY SKEETER
A pink Knock-Out Rose blooming in my Georgia Garden...
After 11 years in this house, we finally have a year round resident Mocking Bird! I have seen them every spring but they always depart by Summer. Not a great picture I know. It was snapped during the evening and he/she was very far from me. Mocking bird males and females are a like so you cannot tell them apart from each other.  
Here is a Bargain I found today! I happen to be at the Christmas Tree Shops when this $50.00 garden bench was marked down to $20.00. The stores motto is, "Don't you just love a bargain". And yes, I do. Not sure where this bench will end up but for now it is sitting by the fire pit.

Here is a new toy I recently picked up. It has yet to be used but I plan to give it a work out on Friday. I plan to take it to the Giant Plant Sale at McCorkles Nursery's.  in Dearing, GA. The sale is Sept. 21-22. Janet, the Queen of Seaford passed along information about another Plant Sale. Layman Nursery in Trenton, SC will be open to the public Sept. 20-22 and again on Sept. 27-29. I am lucky enough to be located only 30 miles from Layman and 20 miles from McCorkles. I have never been to Layman's but their website says it is the largest nursery in the Southeast! So I plan to give my NEW GARDEN TOY, a work out this weekend. In the Garden...
