SUBSIDIARY FOCAL POINTS

The rule is, ONE FOCAL POINT/AREA. Subsidiary focal points are allowed. And desired. I found this heavy rusted iron greenhouse junking in Augusta, GA a couple of years ago.
All of the iron in my garden is robins egg blue.

My late garden cat, Cat-Cat, above, loved to nap in the greenhouse.
.
Guess what I discovered yesterday? Kit-Kit, my other garden cat, has begun sleeping in the greenhouse. Cat-Cat was the alpha cat but who knew Kit-Kit was hankering to sleep in the greenhouse!! Both cats were left by neighbors moving away.
.
I bought the greenhouse because it made me happy to look at. With the garden cats choosing it for their bed this subsidiary focal point exceeds expectation.
.
Choices you make in the garden, if they are the right choices, will exceed expectation.
.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Fabulous accent piece.

All Robin's Egg Blue- have you painted them all? I like the idea of that color popping out of all the green...

I didn't know about kit-kit. Is there a dog-dog too?

Yes, everything Robin's egg blue painted by my own hand.

And, Terry, I've learned giving a garden cat a non-name doesn't prevent one from falling in love anyway. No more non-names after Kit-Kit.
