Praying Mantis and A Decorative Garden!

My very good friend, loves Praying Mantis. She collects the nests and hopes that will hatch. Today, one of the nests hatched! 

If you look very closely (I think if you click on the pictures they will enlarge) you will see some baby Praying Mantis! 

Some were hiding underneath this beautiful flower.

Now onto garden decor. She loves to adorn her garden with refurbished furniture and the like. Hmmm...sounds like someone else I know...me...haha. 

Most of her items are all yard sale finds and she repaints and restores them to fit into her garden decor.

I had to take a picture of this plant...I forget the name of it. I have been racking my brain trying to remember. Maybe one of you garden aficionados may know it. It will be very exciting to see the flower when it blooms. It just showed up in her garden this year. 

This was a collection of items she purchased at yard sales and glued together to make this nice piece of art for her garden.

This is a lace lined wheelbarrow filled with herbs. 

Just beautiful! 

Caught a glimpse of two bunnies chasing each other. I actually had taken a picture of a baby bunny, but was not close enough and did not have my bigger lens. 

Love the use of window panes in the garden. 

This sweet little bench was purchased at the same yard sale where I got my wheelbarrow. We were out together and she saw the bench and I saw the wheelbarrow. 

The car was loaded up that day! 

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my friend's garden.
