CFFC: Fake Animals At the Vicarage

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles, Photography

The Vicarage is an eclectic place with lots to explore and discover. We have plenty of live animals of course. 3 dogs and a cat. Flocks of birds gather in the twisting vines, shrubs and trees around the property and several families of squirrels live here as well ( I am afraid some have taken up residence in the back porch roof). But we also have lots of fake animals about in various forms.

This little guy really likes the daffodil garden…although right now I think he is living in my cellar.

Pooh is happy we found him (he was an old dog toy that got buried in the garden). He really likes living on our porch now. It’s better than being one foot under.

This cat lives in my sketch book with many other animals.My sketch book has been sadly neglected recently. I hope to get back to it sometime soon. “Good Lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise”. Of course, it is coming toward spring and the crick always rises then ….sooooo.

Brenda helped decorate the extension beds to the catywhomnpus gardens last summer. She painted this bed as a pocket watch attached to the rabbit.

DO YOU DECORATE YOUR GARDENS WITH STATUARY? I AM THINKING OF BUYING A FEW LARGER PIECES IN THE SPRING.

DO YOU SKETCH OR PAINT? DO YOU DO ANIMALS OR SCENERY?

A fellow blogger helped me to find a term for my garden. It is called a woodland garden or a forest garden. For me it’s an experiment and an opportunity to learn how to work with my forest or my little patch of woods. So far I have harvested about 20 turnips, A handful of peas, a quart of green beans, a few meals worth of lettuce and kale, Nine tomatoes, and a few radishes. Oh yes and then there’s the berries: Black raspberries, currents and gooseberries.
