It’s been a bit rainy lately and mushrooms have proliferated throughout the yard. So, the Gnomes and I took a tour.
mushrooms
hose tools
It seems there’s not enough room between the hose connections to get my hands in there to tighten them. So, instead of marching off to the tool shed every time I change out hoses, I dedicated a channel locks specifically for hoses. Sadly, the poor little dude is rusting rapidly.
Other paraphernalia hangs out under the spigot, too. Also a volunteer chive plant.(?)
My old rusty mailbox and a stand from a former bird bath to the rescue.
I painted them with Rustoleum 2X. Cut a piece of treated plywood to mount the mailbox to the post and voila.
Aww. Tools all cozy and dry.
