Orbs in the Garden

Why can't my landscaping always look as good as it does in the Spring?  Everything seems to have burst into blooms at once in my front yard.  Looking good even without the mulch.





My garden is filled with all types of ornaments among the blooms, but one of my favorite garden embellishments is the orb.  I've already shown you that my front porch has an orange and blue color combo going on.

Front Porch Last Summer

Well, my daughter and I were out shopping a few weeks ago and we both zeroed in onto a large garden orb.  It was huge and the perfect blue for my front yard.  She stood guard so no one could scoop it away from me while I looked for someone to help us lift it.   It was heavy, but we got it home and with some help placed it in the garden.  Perfect.


You know that I'm addicted to Pinterest.  I've been pinning images of orbs in the garden and wanted to share them too.

So, how do you add interest and dimension to your garden?

I'm currently coveting a large disco ball orb.  I'm hoping to find one at an affordable price but haven't found one in my price range yet.  If any of my readers has a source I'd love for you to share.
