I have been looking for some chairs like the one your hubby is sitting in. I remember my g-mother having the glider/swing and a couple of those. Every summer she'd get us to come over and paint them.

The rock beds would be great for your collection of little kid statues! Just think how much water you will save not having to water shrubs and flowers!!! If you have trees around, you might want to get a leaf blower (if you don't already have one) to blow out the leaves that get into the rock beds in the fall. Of course, you can just rake them out too, and then rearrange the rocks!
Those are my husband's GRANDMOTHER'S CHAIRS in the picture!!! You have a great eye!!! His aunt gave them to us. He is sitting in the chair, the rocker is just barely visible to his left, and then you can see part of a double glider right behind him. We are going to have them sand blasted and repainted, they are rusty. We have a couple other chairs like that that we bought at the huge antique show in Warrenton/Round Top - which actually starts this Thursday (Sept 25) and goes through October 5.
