Lawn ornaments can come in the form of many things from garden statues, garden planters, garden stakes, stepping stones, gnomes, wind spinners, & wind chimes to bird houses, feeders & baths and much more.  By incorporating new lawn ornaments into your lawn and garden you are doing exactly what spring has intended.  Ever wonder why you have a sense of ‘out with the old, in with the new’ feeling in the spring?  Spring is a sign of new beginnings and it sort of gives people the urge to shop.  By shopping for lawn ornaments you not only are filling your crave to shop but you have something to show for it for years to come.

If you are interested in attracting wild birds to your lawn and garden, bird houses, feeders and baths can be a very low-maintenance way of doing so.  Although bird feeders require food and bird baths require water and both a weekly cleaning (give or take a few days) they can be very rewarding.  These types of lawn ornaments can attract some of the most beautiful birds out there.  Imagine sitting in your lawn, garden or porch and being able to witness the pleasant flattering of wings and songs the birds are chirping.  These lawn ornaments that are used to allure birds in for a visit are a great way to actively participate in providing nourishment for nature.  The more bird feeders made available, the more food birds can depend on in the harsh winters or other troubled seasons and the more baby birds will survive.  And the circle of life is sustained! 

Now that spring is just around the corner, shop for lawn ornaments that will liven up your outdoor space and make it more enjoyable for you to be in.  Look for easy, low-maintenance lawn ornaments that will embellish your lawn and garden without putting a hole in your wallet.  Keep in mind the most adorable and affordable lawn ornaments that you can invest in are simple décor from garden statues, stakes, planters & stepping stones to wind chimes & wind spinners to bird houses, feeders & baths.  You will not be let down with lawn ornaments such as these.  Enjoy your new beginnings and happy Spring!

Beautiful day in MN

Today has been a beautiful day in MN! Spring is definitely just around the corner and all the snow will soon be gone. Great time to look into what new lawn decor I want to incorporate into my garden. I'm excited to get some wind spinners to put near my mailbox maybe or right in front of my bay window.  My returning hummingbirds probably could use another hummingbird feeder too!  My baby is due at the end of the month and couldn't be more excited.  God bless everybody and have a wonderful day!
