Chad Johnson has found a way to make several old items useful again, by adding them to his garden to enhance the view. The old push mower looks like it could be started up at any time to mow the lawn and the old Schwin bike, is just leaning there ready to go if someone decides to take a ride. Chad also has some lush greenery and pretty coral poppies to complete his garden scene.

The bottom two photos are from Judy Byykkonen showing the variety of flowers she grows in her little front yard garden. She also has two different color iris plants that add colorful beauty to the landscape around her yard.

It's fun to see how others decorate their surroundings and even better to get ideas from them for making our own yards and gardens come alive with beauty. Thanks for the inspiration, Chad and Judy!

Nice pictures! I loved our coral poppies. Unfortunately, they weren't around nearly long enough.

When I saw Chad's name, I got a bit confused because I was pretty sure that was Judy's house in the last 2 pictures, lol. Glad to see my eyes weren't deceiving me. Loved the decorating ideas in that first picture.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures, you two.

Pretty pictures!!
That bike looks like my old Western Flyer.:)
Used a mower like that many times!!

Beautiful gardens! I had a Sears bicycle very similar to that bicycle as a kid. Is there any "flower beds" UP there, using the headboard and footboard of an old iron bed frame, planting flowers in between?

Very colorful! At first I thought this could be Brenda's garden. Haven't seen her post lately...hope everything is okay.

The first shot reminds me of the yooper lawn mower we saw a few years ago. The mower was attached to the front of the bike.

Wow! Uneaten Hosta leaves. Do you spray them with garlic to keep the deer away?

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

11:05 and no pictures? Could it be history?
