Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys....

Don't let 'em buy hats..... or talk on cell phones ....

(but, you can let them grow up to be "western-themed landscapers")

Mr. B probably wouldn't like that I am sooo setting the expectations high as to the "theme" of the back-yard make-over.

And, probably doesn't like that I have already been bitten by the decorating-bug....everytime I see something western, I think "Oh wouldn't that look cute in the yard!

Mr. B made this shelf for me a couple of years ago - notice it has one cow-BOY (my brother Larry,
.....and 3 cow - GIRLS (me & my sisters!)

I call it the " Sullivan Shelf "

Temp, Time & Humidity Thingy (techinical term you know...)

..but I'm certain Mr. B doesn't want such a "theme" that it looks like a miniature golf-course,
..... of course....

"Come on down to Western Town! Sink that shot into a gopher hole!...Get a "hat" in one -( get it...cowboy hat...ah ha) or, "meet me at sundown for a 'shoot-out' on Main Street".

Anyway, I thought I'd show you some of the progress and "accessories" I have so far.

Partial results of our western sidewalk..

Little mirrored tin....

Rusted and galvanized metal stars...cool, huh?

They even have this "pocket" to plant like a small vine or cactus...

"Calling all cactuses...I mean cacti"

Got 2 of these rusty-finished hooks for your hat or your larriatte...um............

your Larry-ette.....ah...your ROPE..

(me PRIOR to the unsightly water-weight gain...uh..yeah...)

(me AFTER the 'retaining of water...like Lake Michigan...

OK, OK, so I have a little "water-weight" gain since the first image of me.....

Love ya Cow-girl Sistas
