It was almost 60 degrees out when I took these pictures out at my mom and dad’s just a couple of days ago…today it’s snowing and blowing–I guess it is winter.  But the warm weather was making me dream of all the garden projects I want to do this year.  Pictured below are just few of Don’s (my dad’s) creations…  (and there are many, MANY more!)
