Bottle Tree on Chatfield Road

Bottle tree in dead peach tree in our Chatfield Road backyard.

I have always wanted a bottle tree, and I had collected a few blue and green bottles in preparation for making one.  When we were in Cleveland County recently, I discovered that one of our peach trees had died and that it had a number of branches suitable for holding bottles.  I had five bottles there, but I hope to add more to the bottle tree as time goes by.

This blue bottle is one of my favorites.

Maggie's New Fence on Chatfield Road

We were in Cleveland County recently at our little house on Chatfield Road, and we had a small fenced area made for Maggie so she would have a place to play outside and where she would not have to be on a leash.

When Maggie is in her fenced yard, she has a nice view of our neighbor's little garden.

I think Maggie is going to be much happier when she is Cleveland County now.
