Of a White Christmas.
My backyard. The chairs came from someone's garbage. The screendoor, off my own casa. The address, off of my grandparent's old house. The door and the house plaque are wired to a wire fence that is thick with a scrubby grapevine in the summer.

That's "SteamingCup of Matt's" house in the backyard. It's FOR SALE. Does anyone want to be my neighbor?
Great lawn art there! How much is the house?
I noticed no comments enabled on the post about your mom. You're both in my thoughts, and I'm hoping for the very best news. Please keep us informed, OK?
I <3 public art.
J- A steal @ only $119,900! Buy a it for your 'summer place' and I'll be your caretaker! Ha HA! I closed the comments on the previous post because well, I don't know. I just didn't want any comments on my mom's hoo-ha. As my usual modus operandi, I fear the worst. Everything is A-O-K...YAY! It's just that when your parents get older, well...things happen. Thanks for your concern.
Megs- I <3 Hum & Ash. I took a picture of the Ugly Dolls I'm giving as gifts this year for you. Will post it soon.
Wow, that is a steal. I didn't know any house could be purchased for that price in this day and age. That's about a quarter of what a little 1100 square foot condo goes for around here.
I'm very relieved that everything is A-OK with your mom! WHEW! And I completely understand about the comments being turned off.
My mom had a hysterectomy almost 2 years ago, and I was so scared that she would die on the table (even though women go through it every day, it's different when it's your own mommy), and I started to realize that someday, this will be a world without her in it. That thought has me tearing up as we speak, because there will never be a time when I won't need her terribly.
Love the lawn art! Wow! I can't believe you have snow and we don't! :( Totally bummed. I mean, I live in Northern Ontario...which to many Canadians may seem like the North Pole! lol Anyway, hoping for a white Christmas because without the snow, it just wouldn't feel like Christmas to me....
So happy your mom is okay :) You were both in my thoughts today. My mom is such a tough cookie, but now that she's getting older, I worry about her. She has a history of cancer on her maternal side, and she smokes like a chimney. She tells me the docs say her lungs are clear, but she's the type of woman who won't tell you if she's terminally ill. She'd hide it for the rest of her life and not let anyone ever know. *sigh* As daugthers, we will always worry about our moms :) There's definitely a strong bond between mother and child.
Looks like the inside of our house at the moment. Except without the snow.
Hope your mom's ok - parents (and grandparents) are marvellous and I wish I'd made a better job of mine.
J- Your comment about your mum made me start to tear up. Ugh... Oh so true!
Christine- This is an old xmas photo, we have NO SNOW. :(
Unrelaxed- Gracias. Are you saying the contents of your house are a bunch of 'found objects'? ;)
URD- I get it now. Sending the best to Dudelet.
Actually, it's not as bad as it used to be but supermum is a Fine Arts grad and a designer and a notorious skip diver. I remember the top half of shop dummy that sat around in the front room of one house for two years just in case she did something with it. I'm pretty sure our CD racks (just gone as I migrate CDs into folders) were pulled out of a skip. The nicely distressed brick edging on our flower beds - skip. Bookshelf for outsize books in the corner of the lounge? Former post rack found in a skip outside her college (SIXTEEN YEARS AGO!!!!).
It's a habit I love dearly and wouldn't have any other way.
