Lots of fun and water.

The museum is made from a WWII barracks. The inside looked nothing like a barrack, so [...]

I have this cute little girl statue that sits in my weed garden.  She stands about 15 inches high and she carries a basket.  I can put bird-seeds in the basket or water or something else.  My goal is to make the weed garden a butterfly garden. Then the little girl statue can hold pebbles [...]
