On any given day


Some kind of sculpture garden grows outside my door on any given day.



Your patio probably has plants and a few flowers. Mine, on occasion, does too.



But mine are more likely to be formed of metal and wire. To be cultivated in the absence of water and daily care.



My still life garden moves and grows as yours does, but with much less care.



And a pot is for itself alone, though once in a while it may contain something delicate and wonderful. While it lives.



Something new is always popping up. Or transplanted from another quarter.



Often it is as hard to move as if it had roots!



But it can stay as long as it needs to anyway.


























Ciao! for now! Thanks for stopping by!

I'm linking up with Faded Charm for another delightful
White Wednesday!
And A Southern Daydreamer for another dreamy OUTDOOR Wednesday!

  1. But these all have significant beauty all their own. Green growing about them or not. A simple yet profound beauty.

  3. What awesome chippy whites you've shown today. Can you believe I just passed up a cart like in your first photo? Someone had painted the leaves a horrible color, but I could have fixed that. What was I thinking?

    Take care,

  7. Hello Jacqeline... A really great post... Love the structure! The table leg with the ceiling tile behind it is a great shot!! Think of all the fun you get to have with your easy care garden, versus all the weeding and watering:-)
    I enjoyed my visit:-)

  12. Who says you have to have living things planted in garden stuff?!? Living in a place that's hot all the time, I'm sure this idea is much easier!! Still looks wonderful to me-especially your stone planters-yummy! Julie

  13. This is the first summer where I've left a few things unplanted, and am just enjoying the beauty of these things! I love everything on your patio, especially the square-shaped pot, which I drool over at antique stores. They're so expensive, and yes they are very heavy too!
    Happy WW!

  16. I missed an afternoon of checking your blog and there are three gorgeous ones! Love this still life. I have a cart like yours in my space and everyday think I should bring it home for me! You have a way of making crusty, rusty, chippy look absolutely elegant! Great photos!
