Need A Friend

The other day I posted my newest arrival to my landscaping endeavors, a dinosaur egg created by artist, Joyce Hawkins.

I have chosen an area in my yard for the dinosaur egg. It sits surrounded by weeds at the moment in a rather bare spot, but I like its location.



When I posted these photos I receive a comment from DJ that the dinosaur egg looked lonely and maybe it needed a friend.....to talk to?

Today as I was transplanting a fig tree, I was thinking about a friend for the dinosaur egg. Being the rock nut I am, I decided to befriend the dinosaur egg with a few rocks.


I do believe the dinosaur egg looks happier thanks to DJ.

Maybe its friends will change over time?

Dinosaur Egg

A couple of blogs back I shared about the Northwest Horticultural Society's Garden Tour at Joyce Hawkins' home. I also mentioned Joyce's art of cement leaves and dinosaur eggs.

Joyce described her process to me of how she creates dinosaur eggs using patching cement. I now have my very own dinosaur egg in my yard.




I am not sure of its permanent placement or maybe it will move around? At the moment it sits in my front yard in a patch of weeds. I definitely need a more exciting ground cover for it to sit upon. Any suggestions?

Here is the view from my deck.


I decided to add water and a glass float. The sun popped out as I finished this process. Do you like the addition of water and float? Other ideas?
