yard decor

Garden/yard ornaments add charm and curiosity to any home, giving its owners an opportunity to make a personal statement. It's an interesting way to decorate a home or garden, letting imaginations run wild. 

This grouping of ephemera is on a busy road in Westlake, OH. People driving past may not notice it, but pedestrians might. This pedestrian did. It's a peaceful spot as the world rushes by. What message is the owner of this quirky display trying to convey? I think they're collectors of eclectic "stuff". The winged creatures, the iron gate, the "Watch Your Step" sign (perhaps from an old store) decorate a shady spot where grass won't grow. 

The cross leaning on the rock says it all, "Peace to all who enter."

Wishing you peace as the last few days of July tick away and the month of August begins.

  2. That is certainly a display that would stop me to ponder for a moment. I think you might be right about them being collectors.

    1. I wonder what treasures fill their garage or attic?
