The Living Is Easy
I know I have mentioned I live in the middle of a forest. I really do. We do not have one inch of lawn. (As always, you can click on the picture to enlarge.) The forest comes right to the edge of the driveway. Time and money saved not having to mow the lawn?

Hi Penny,

You need to mosaic the handle of the mower! Make it a piece of art...I know it would be beautiful!
Colleen

Hi Penny,

I'm trying to catch up on blogging.

It looks and sounds utterly charming. That's a perfect place for a mower.
The best of both worlds. You live in the country but you have that cute Main Street close by. Is that correct? We had a push mower when I was growing up. I am sure it is still at my parents.

Hi Penny; I love the mower.Just think if you did have a yard you wouldn't have to buy gas $$$$$.
Best Wishes

I love your photo of that old push mower. Good you don't have grass to mow if that is the mower you own! LOL I'll bet your place is gorgeous, and especially in the fall. xoxo
Penny, what a beautiful setting your home must be nestled! I love the picture of the ole lawn mower with moss growing around and on it, Great yard art. Cricket is a real cutie pie! I love you blog and adding you to my favorites. Looking forward to coming back often.
Have a blessed day.

You are living my dream Penny! The woods is my favorite place to be. I love to sit there and just listen. I would rather be in the woods than at the beach any day!
Hugs,
Amy
Gorgeous! The woods are so lovely!
Happy day, Penny!

I live in a garden home in East Texas (Piney Woods). And one side of my house, the part that is secluded as I'm on the corner, is "without lawn." I have winding brick and wood and flagstone pathways through my gardens filled with flowers and plants and herbs. Love it. It would be even better in the woods, as you are. By the way, your creations are simply lovely. And I read about you last night in a magazine too.
Brenda
What a whimsical setting! No wonder you love it there.
Sounds good to me. I think lawns are such a waste of time. Who invented them?
It took me a minute to figure out that was a lawnmower in the photo.
No grass growing under our feet either, LOL!
Darla
The kind of yard my husband would love.
Penny,
How do you grow a lawnmower ?
What a wonderful picture. That's the kind of art that is priceless.

P.S. On Craisglist they call these antiques, go figure.

Hi Penny!
First of all, Cricket is just adorable!! What a great pet, not necessary to feed LOL.
Second, I saw a vintage lawnmower (like my Grandma Meme's, does that mean I'm vintage too if I remember her using it?) in a yard sale this past weekend for $100 FIRM. I had to laugh, Meme couldn't get rid of hers fast enough way back then!
Hugs, Sherry
Hello Penny,
I went back and posted the web page for the first potting table for you.I hope it works for you.
What a blessing to live in the forest. I love growing different mosses and things that love shade.
Take care,
ginger
Love it Penny; I kinda live the same way. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Penny, now that is my kind of lawn. I love how you have that retired lawnmower there. I'll trade, we have two acres of grass to mow. Karen
I've got a lawnmower just like that outside my back porch! It's a playground for the geckos and a perch for some of the local birds that stop by to torment my little doxie!
Our new property borders the forest too. Unlike you, however, there are about 9 acres of mowing between us and the trees!
Blessings!
Liz
I like the unique photo Penny. It's very nostalgic.
Hugs
Brook
All I know is, is that you live in a HEAVENLY place.
sigh. I'm so happy that someone as special as you are gets to live there.
xo,
Kim
Your picture is just wonderful. How fabulous to live in a forest. You must really enjoy it there. I know I would! Amy :)
Hi Penny,
When we first moved to our 1 acre block we didn't have a rideon mower or even gardens, it use to take hubby 6 hours to mow the grass and it wasn't even nice lawn grass, now the boys are all old enough to mow and we have a rideon, so it only takes an hour or two. Love the rusty old push mower I have one sitting in my garden too.
Cheers Linda
I agree with you sweetie....priceless, but I think my dh would be lost with out his precious grass to mow! lol
Amanda (aka Cottage Contessa)
My husband would love not having a yard to mow!
Hugs,
Cathie
