Y is for Yard Art
Keep it easy, Or make it hard? Would you go sleazy? Your art ~ your yard?
I had a friend with four brothers that were all in the military. Two were professional army men that served multiple tours in the middle east. I bought her an "army gnome" for her yard and she LOVED it :) I don't know why, but I am a big fan of the garden gnome. Even though, I don't own any myself!
Hi Clarabelle. I don't have any garden gnomes but I think they're cute. I'd love to have a Minion!! My yard is a beach theme - lots of shells and colorful metal fish.
OMG!!! DIxie!!! Noddy was my very favorite character growing up!! I had all the books by Enid Blyton!! I want to start collecting them for Miss V!!! Love that "cheeky" Gnome!! Enjoy your day...beautiful here!! Cheers! Linda :o)
Beautiful and funny . . . I don't think I've ever seen that gnome statue before! :)
I just have a few pieces of yard art - stepping stones with my daughters' hand prints, and a solar powered blue globe that reminds me of some kind of royal scepter (my mom gave it to me).
Dixie, such a cute little elf. It never hurts to add a bit of levity to one's garden or yard. I would stop before pink flamingos, however. Maybe a bit of Chihuly glass?
Our garden frequently features human buttocks- mostly it's the grandchildren. Loving garden art- got a line of projects to get on with this summer. Including accessorising the scarecrow, but she'll be keeping her trousers up :-)
LOL with the gnome :)

Thank you, Betty!
DeleteNot a fan of the squatting gnome :P I dunno, toilet humour seems to be a weak spot in my appreciation of comedy :P
ReplyDeleteUse a commode as a bird feeder?

DeleteI added you to my reading list. Love your blog!!
Great post Dixie especially the gnome.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Like a seven dwarf, he must be 'Sleazy'.
Deletewhat a naughty goblin that is
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder who's minding the garden?!!
DeleteThat gnome is producing art near your home.... :p
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!!! And if you look closely at the photo, I think he's doing it alone.
DeleteI'd go cheeks out, make the neighbors shout
ReplyDeleteYes you would, wouldn't you??
DeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteOh that naughty gnome! LOL
ReplyDeleteDid you know there was a gnome named "Noddy"?? Children's story.
DeleteOMG!!! DIxie!!! Noddy was my very favorite character growing up!!
DeleteI had all the books by Enid Blyton!!
I want to start collecting them for Miss V!!!
Love that "cheeky" Gnome!!
Enjoy your day...beautiful here!!
Cheers!

I love the stars painted on the grass. I want to do something like that on my yard! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cute? You could do star hopscotch for a birthday party!
DeleteThanks for the visit, Dixie, yes, we were trying to make the best of it in Central Africa and a long way from home :0)
ReplyDeleteCarole Anne, that was an amazing read. You have such talent. I loved it.
DeleteWe have a landscaped front yard instead of grass. The only pieces of art are an old pump and a trio of owls :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds precious, Susan!
DeleteBeautiful and funny . . . I don't think I've ever seen that gnome statue before! :)
ReplyDeleteI just have a few pieces of yard art - stepping stones with my daughters' hand prints, and a solar powered blue globe that reminds me of some kind of royal scepter (my mom gave it to me).
And now you've seen probably more gnome than you wanted to (smile).
DeleteI love stepping stones. I use broken pieces of dishes. I would love to see your solar powered blue globe!
Gnome's bums? Cute, I dare say but I don't think I'd put him in my garden.
ReplyDeleteOne last day! I hope you enjoyed the challenge as much as I have.
Hi 'Daft'. I had a blast! Checked out your blog: am following; I intend to get back over there... you've got some great music too (smile).
DeleteDixie, such a cute little elf. It never hurts to add a bit of levity to one's garden or yard. I would stop before pink flamingos, however. Maybe a bit of Chihuly glass?
ReplyDeleteLinda Kay - there's a house down the road where they have about 20-25 flamingos - it's scary.

ReplyDeleteLisa, I love your photos of the shed, garden, and the places you walk to. Such a daily adventure... in a lovely landscape!!
DeleteYou have a great scarecrow!
my stars...very fun! Bottoms up!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, Kathe!!!
DeleteHey human, Dixie,
ReplyDeleteVery artful
The gnome's a fart full
Gnome, gnome and deranged
Methinks you is strange! :)
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny!
I hope you find a nice hydrant to hang out with (smile).
DeleteYou should realise that we don't have hydrants in lil' ol' England! Smile to you! :)
DeleteCute poem, and the gnome was a fun surprise!
