Get Er Done!

I have had this iron gate for some years now.  My daughter gave it to me for Mothers Day.

Her hubby worked for Wadman Construction and he got 3 or 4 of these when they tore down homes to build a Wal-mart.  They actually were at the windows of a home that did iron work.

Another reason why I am not a Wal-mart lover!  Ya know, the tearing down of homes. I guess I should be, otherwise I wouldn’t have this iron.

It’s been leaning here against the opening of our future fire pit.  I’m sure that it was anxiously waiting for me to do something with it.

I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to paint it red or green.

Well today I pulled it out and decided to get er done!

I found that I was out of red spray paint, so green it is.

I may use it as a gate in the future, but for now; I stuck it up on one of my garden beds above the rock wall.

This delphinium is really short.  Worked great by the iron.  I love the blue with the green.  Mr. hollyhock will cover a lot of it later, I’m sure.

I bought these keys at Tai-Pan.  Regularly $30 for $12.  They are really heavy.  They were a bit to orangey so I sprayed them with a little more black.

Heather, from Very Heatherly mentioned that they would be cute in the garden.

I knew exactly where I wanted to hang them.

Don’t worry, the garden gate is never locked.  Guest are always welcome.  In fact, I get down right excited when someone comes to see the garden.
