Fun things to do above the A/C units and other yard art

We had built this really cool looking arbor of sorts to help shade our A/C units and thought it looked interesting to have these old keys hang down off chain and blow around in the breeze the A/C unit creates.

The image on the right is a very HEAVY piece of water irrigation pipe from a very old farm here in Arizona. We are thinking of different  plants or cacti to put in it, but so far are undecieded. Gotta love the sleeping sombero wearing man in front of a cactus!!!


More garden art in our yad here in Arizona

A very unique find. If anyone knows what it is or what it was used for please let me know. It has two hooks and says shannon arch in the middle.

This is anotherclose up of our shadow box. You can see the red battery pack that is connected to thelamp that still has a in tact light bulb!

Close up of the items in the bottom of the shadow box. One tall jar in the back has something burned inside and a rusted shut lid.

Here is our awesome turkey! It was actually ment to be stuck into a pumpkin, but we thought it looked better protecting our pepper plants!

Shadow box full of treasure and our telephone pole


Up close pictures of one of our shadow boxes and our telephone pole. I really like the old childs belt buckle in the upper left corner of the shadow box.

Some fun yard and garden art in our Arizona home

 

Yard art in our yard and garden.

These are a few  things we find fun and exciting to look at in ouor yard and gardens. Remember that when you are out in your yard or garden there should be more then just plant life, you should have things that mke you happy and that are interesting to look at; items that have personal stories behind them are extra cool!

Here you see two shawdow boxes on the wall filled withmisc. items we have found on numerous desert off road and hiking adventures throughout Arizona and Califronia. There are a couple wood barrel bands (straps), a telephone pole that went to an old farm house tha has since been torn down,home made hummingbird feeders made from metal we find, misc. glass and bottles, old school items, a miners head lamp with battery pack, barbed wire, old gas can and alot more...
