Lawn Ornaments For Your Landscape by Kent Higgins

Noah Webster defines an ornament as "anything that adorns or beautifies." We think our birdhouses and lawn furniture answer this definition, so they are not allowed to become shabby, every fall they are given a good thorough cleaning before being stored for winter. Maybe the clump birch and flowering plum and often other trees, like birdhouses and lawn furniture, are lumped together as "nice to have, but not really ornaments."

We think they "adorn and beautify" the garden and place them high on our list of ornaments. Several years ago l became so enamored with pillar roses that a veritable forest of poles stood in the garden. It was the gentle bewilderment of a friend who asked, "Where did you find so many poles'?" that caused all but four to be taken out. Pillar roses are beautiful and ornamental, but should be used with caution and placed so they blend into the overall garden picture.

A small birdhouse is nailed to the top of our remaining poles and the swallows fight wildly among themselves every spring to see who will be lucky enough to nest in them. Fortunately for us, there are misguided souls who dispose of their old cast iron pots when they get something new and more modern. Whenever I come across one of these treasures at auctions, garage sales or second-hand stores, I carry it home with delight, scrape off the dirt and rust and give it a coat of "paint."

Some pots are planted with lobelia, others with pansies and the largest of all, an old lard rendering kettle, with petunias. The smaller ones are attractive on the patio and by the stone steps, while the lard kettle holds place of pride near the arch that leads to the backyard landscape and the rose garden.

Speaking of lawn arches this is one ornament you had best do without unless you have the right place for it. An arch is a garden door ornament or a garden door itself and should frame the way from one part of the landscape to another, it should not stand against a fence or alone in the center of a lawn. It can be lovely or supremely foolish depending on its location.

Last summer I kept thinking how nice a hitching post would look among old roses, with luck plus some imagination we now have one. I bought a pair of large cast iron bookends which were on sale at a local second hand shop, each was half a horse head. We had them welded together and then welded to the top of a five-foot iron pipe.

When set in place and given a coat of paint it looked just as attractive as I had hoped.

Someday I would like to have my pool landscaped and surrounded by miniature roses. Someday well, thats the fun of doing it yourself, you have the pleasure of planning and fixing and eventually getting exactly what you desired.

Which is your favorite name of these three?

My friend asked me to come up with a name for her freelance card design company. She likes purple and wanted to incorporate it into the name if she could, but not a necessity.

Her last name is Little, and she wants to focus on invitations.

1. Plum Delight Invite
((Plum Delight for short, captures her lighthearted design style))

2. Purple Parchment
((Simple and elegant, can include more than just invitations))

3. Big Day: Little Design
((Captures her cleverness and utilizes her last name))

Cast your vote! She doesn't know which one to go with so maybe you guys can help. Thanks in advance!

Ms Little asked the right person to help her.

3 /1 /2 is the order of my votes.

For repeat business or customer loyalty, the name should be memorable ... and after speaking with Ms Little, the name should stay with them.

PLUM is for purple, but also for exactly in the right position (like the "plum line" builders use to make sure their construction is perfect)

PARCHMENT has your Harry Potter bias showing (LOL) but is unique for elegant invitations also.
