Years ago Andy sometimes had trouble finding one of the corner posts for our land, in spite of the white stake he put up. So Beate and Tim bought him a gazing ball to make it more visible. It helped a lot.
Unfortunately it eventually got smashed by a falling tree, so they bought him a steel one. It didn’t have a hole in it to mount on the stake, but they attached it anyway:
Somehow that got knocked off, but Andy, Kaitlin and Torben found it and put it back up.
Kaitlin and Torben suggested we find a sturdier way to mount it, maybe using a wire basket like they use for hanging plants? So we did, and we haven’t have any problems since.
Why am I mentioning this now? Because it’s relevant to tomorrow’s post…this one is long enough!

What a tease!
I recently learned that from other bloggers. 🙂
Looking forward, then, for tomorrow’s update.

Clever way to hang that ball. I’ve always been fascinated by gazing balls and have wanted one but never got one.
Now I’m wondering what tomorrows post will be about
🙂
what a good idea! And this latest one is very pretty. I can’t wait to read the rest of the story, I can’t imagine…
🙂
Great minds and willing hands. Woot!
Torben took the picture of Andy and Kaitlin, and I’m grateful.
as you can see I’m behind again with posts, although I did view the rainbow and now I’m behind with this one, so I guess the story of the ball is going to be read next…
It’s nothing earth-shaking, but it wouldn’t make any sense if people hadn’t heard the story of the gazing ball.
That was smart thinking to use one…but like everyone else, now I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
It was sweet of Beate and Tim to buy it for Andy.
What a great idea. I wish I would have done that when we bought our property.
Beate and Tim get the credit.
It’s about to be enveloped by greenery!
If we get some moisture!
Ooh, a teaser! Maybe what Bruce says….
We would love more greenery. 🙂
what a super idea! sorry about the smashed one. did not know they make steel like that. makes it easy to see even in the wire basket. where there is a will there is a way. In Florida, our parking lots are full of antennas with bright green or yellow tennis balls on the top of antennas.. this made me think of them. I wish i had land that i needed a post to tell me where it ended
Somehow the problems make it more meaningful. 🙂
so pretty! and a cool solution.
can’t imagine the next part of the story! xo
