It'a Once Again Friday

    Hi everyone. It's the end of another work week for some people, and for all of us Friday. Already. Another week  flew by for me. 

   Today I am joining Nicole for Friday Face Off and also Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break

  As I mentioned in my yesterday's post, last week I took my final trip (for the season) to my local botanical gardens. Before these gardens opened to the public, they were the private gardens of a couple who lived on an old dairy farm in Lee, New Hampshire. The couple still lives there, just off where the gardens are located. One of the people in this couple is a sculpture artist named Jill Nooney, and she creates very fun pieces using left over scraps of metal. She even has a bone yard of pieces up next to their home on the edge of the garden. 

   I thought today I'd share a few she has for sale at the garden entrance. She made some fun faces.





   I'll end this post with a few other photos.  So grab a seat and enjoy the views.












Have a great Friday and weekend ahead.

What a beautiful park (Botanical Gardens). I enjoyed this post too (as well as the previous one). This one had more benches to sit on so it was more relaxing (lol).
Have a lovely weekend,
Lisca

The story behind the botanical gardens being a private dairy farm originally is so charming.

Love those scrap sculptures. The park looks beautiful.

The private gardens of the donor couple must have been huge. What a great gift to the public.

I love the artist's faces. They are quirky and salvaged art, which speaks to me. These and the benches are fabulous for FFO.
