Getting the Yard ready for Summer

Some of the wood pieces in our front yard are showing signs of wear,  so H has been busy slapping some paint on them.....lol!  Looks like these birdhouses in front of our HOME sign could use a little love.
  While he is painting,  I have been adding some color to our front yard with flowers and fun yard stuff.

I hung some pink geranium pots to our birdhouse post and added some colorful yard stakes to the vignette.    Isn't this childs bench the cutest thing.....well,  H found it in our dumpster.    We share a dumpster with three other houses and sometimes he finds really neat stuff that he gives a new life to.

The metal was all in good shape,  but the seat slats needed some paint.   

He painted the barnyard a soft pink and painted the wood with the same paint that we used to refresh our little trailer that's also in the front yard..

I hung a windchime on one of the vintage birdcages.....

Added a sweet gnome and small fairy to my geranium basket.

I also hung a long banner next to H's old water pumps.    We still have a few more days work in the front yard....the buggy needs a new coat of paint,  a couple of chairs need some TLC.....   just the normal spring maintenance that is needed every year!
