I have a few mass produced ornaments like a butterfly on a stick, a wobbly metal bee on a pole etc.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the little figurines that I have placed here and there. When my parents passed away I took their little pigs, and an over-sized cricket that they always had placed in their garden beds. I also have a foot and a half long crocodile &#8211; somehow he blends in. LOL<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>When my mother passed away I knew I wouldn&#8217;t be getting back to my home town very often and I just love the area. It&#8217;s where my love of nature began. As I traveled back and forth from Toronto to Ottawa- my home town &#8211; I&#8217;d stop in some of the rocky area&#8217;s in the Ottawa valley and I collected large stones- most of them flat. With those stones I made my own stone man. I cannot think of the proper name for this stone figure that means welcome at this moment. He&#8217;s about two feet wide and two feet high and I love this ornament more than any other in my garden.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>What kind of garden ornaments do you have in your garden?
