Before I came along, people used The Thicket as a dumping ground for everything from their old lawnmowers to broken windows to every imaginable type of yard waste. Lucky for me (and them), they also left me a veritable wealth of twigs to play with.
So, to welcome them to the new-and-improved thicket, I made them an entrance way. I took all their twigs, and sticks, and branches and made them this pretty arbor with matching twig hedges.
I wonder what they’ll leave the next time they pay a visit…

Wow. That's beautiful—and so generous of you. What a gift you've given everyone. I hope they'll give in return.
Thanks Melissa. I hope so too. And I hope this will be a reminder that everyone uses this area and that it is everyone's job to care for it.
Very clever Michelle ! Looks very autumnal and I'm sure there'll be much nice surprise to find next time.
The leaves are turning now and that makes the place look so pretty. Thank you Mother Nature! 🙂
Seriously you are amazing. So beautiful.
Aw, thanks Valerie. The weather has been so beautiful here and I've had a blast working outside at The Thicket. It's a little piece of heaven…
It looks so lovely, well done you….

I am proud of it actually. Lots of time and effort went into that thing. 🙂
That will make people think twice about trashing that area. It looks cared for and magical. Thanks.
People walking by have said the same thing as they shake their heads in wonder at the crazy lady. Hee hee.
It's great that you cleaned up that area. Not many folks would do that.
It has made me feel so good. I don't want it to stop. 🙂
it look so great! a piece of art from other's waste.
And that is the point, isn't it Denise? With a little imagination and a little effort, this place is beautiful again. Isn't that cool?
So cool!
