John Deere Goat Cart

I made a to do list of things that we could do while staying safe at home......and here is what we picked to do yesterday.    .    

H had bought a cute John Deere garden cart at the auction several years ago and it has just been sitting in one of the flower beds since then.    Every time I would walk by it,     I would think " I need to do something with that thing"    So,  when I was making our to do list,   I put it on there.

Yesterday,   the poor little forgotten cart made it to the top of the list.. 
   The little green garden cart is normally pulled around using a garden tractor,   but I decided to add some whimsy to the yard by hitching it up to a pair of goats....lol! 

I wanted to fill the back of it with some pretty potted plants,   but I didn't have any since I haven't been to the garden center this spring.     What could be even better than potted plants......a seating area for the grands!

I can sit in the wicker swing and the grands can sit across from me in their own little seat

Hopefully the grands will be able to visit us again soon........

The cover on the swing canopy needed to be replaced,   so I tied a checked table cloth I had on hand to the frame.

The original canopy wore out many years ago.  so I have had to make a fabric canopy for it several times.     

Back in 2014 when the original canopy wore out,   H added chicken wire to the frame to give me more area to attach my cloth canopy.   Here's a link to that post showing how he did it .....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2014/04/no-sew-shabby-chic-swing-canopy-and.html

Here's a link to another post showing a different style of canopy I had on it one year.....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2015/04/making-canopy-for-my-wicker-swing.html

What's on our to do list for tomorrow?    H is going to mowing the grass and we're going to (hopefully) finish a big project that has been ongoing for a few days.    I can't wait to share that project with you!
