I'm like Jeanette and bought something while away. It's a concrete curved garden bench and we lugged it back to Texas from Kansas yesterday. It's still in the back of the truck, but can't wait to show it to you!

I know - I know! I'm eager to see it in place too (lol). Son & family which includes a strong grandson will be here in a couple hours for dinner. They don't know that they're going to have to work for their supper.

Bana, are you blue in the face? (lol) Ok, ladies, here is my new Kansas bench which is now residing in my Houston back yard.
It's kinda nakid right now with no plants around it.

Okay, I'm about ready to pitch a conniption fit!! Several of my posts have totally disappeared the last few days and for no good reason!!

I said earlier that the bench is great. It was just made for that spot and that's why you had to haul it home from Kansas.

Now, let's see if this one sticks!

My new garden bench isn't so lonely now that it has some plants to keep it company.

That was definitely worth the trouble of hauling it home! It's really nice! I love the curves of it and the plants look great too!

Love your little stone path! What do you have planned for it...plant wise?

Thank you ladies! Yes, the legs is what drew out attention to this particular bench. I will post a further out picture of that part of what we call the court yard now. We call it that since there is absolutely no grass any more. I'll post it on my "updated back yard" post. Or is that what I titled that post.Confused
