metal treeOne of the truly priceless additions to the house we now call home, is the backyard.

 

Yes, most homes have yards.  This one however comes with all manner of artful flower beds and unique sculpture.  Many of the sculptures were not apparent when we purchased the house.

 

Finding these little treasures has provided us with an ongoing treasure hunt.

 

The pictured tree appears to be made out of peacock feathers.  It isn't!  Each of those is a wire creation.  It is difficult to move around.  In fact moving it is not recommended for your general hand health.

 

The sculptures original home was under a make shift shed at the edge of the yard.  We believe the shed was the workshop used by the artistic previous owner.  Perhaps we should have spent time  out there soaking up his left over creativity?

 

The butterflies were an added find from the second bedroom closet.  Together these sculptures have added feelings of tranquility and beauty to one of the outdoor patio spaces.


Most of the stuff acquired with the house will remain when we leave.  Somewhere out there in the great and diverse universe is a person who will love this yard as much as we have.  

 

We feel that it is special privilege to have been allowed to carry on the legacy of love started by the original owners.

 

Depersonalizing hopefully is not a requirement that extends to the yard.  Something's are not personal,  just soul food!

Jeanne and Ralph--I have found that often buyers really do want all the treasures that give the yard and garden character. :)

Gina, It's been one thing we have really enjoyed living here.

Jeanne & Ralph - the backyard is really an extension of the home and you can do so much now, especially here in Florida even when it is hot. :)

Jeanne & Ralph, the previous homeowner is indeed a creative artist. It looks like a weeping willow tree except the color.
