    That changes daily. She bought some "wildflower seeds" (read that to mean weeds). But then she was talking roses for a while. Yesterday it was blueberries. I am taking bets on whether she actually plants anything useful. Right now the over/under is at 30%.

    I couldn't help but notice, Inor, that Mrs Inor's she shed is "out in the back 40" so to speak. Is that her idea or yours?

    Crazy huh? I looked at the picture last night when I was uploading it and it scared the hell out of me! The porch on the shack looks like it is leaning forward. I had to run out there are look at it in real life to satisfy myself that the shack is still plumb; it is the camera in my phone that is making it lean...

    The She Shack is about 50 yards from the house. She wanted "the perfect view" of the mountains. She did not even give me a key for the damn thing! Once I was done building it, I became persona non grata inside it.

    You need a key to get in?

    She keeps her sewing machines and a bunch of other expensive art crap out there so yes, it is locked. Of course, maybe she is just locking ME out?

    Nice looking gardens Slip!

    I have the exact same bottle tree as you and I see yours is suffering the same slings and arrows as mine - namely the wind breaking bottles. This weekend I am going to mix up some concrete to set mine in to hopefully prevent further wind damage.

    Does the bottle tree have a purpose or just for looks?

    hag,

    The story goes;

    West Africans who migrated to the Low Country of GA, SC, FL and NC called the Gullahs. The Gullah's believed that evil spirits would see the bright colored bottles and during the day when the sun was out they would venture into the bottles and get trapped forever.

    Y'all know me as the cool and handsome man who makes everyone laugh! But around Slippy Lodge I turn into a Old Low Country black lady who drinks Sky Vodka and hangs the blue bottles on bent pieces of rebar...

    Seriously, they just add some color to the garden and I like them!
