I got the rooster one for a friend last year Val, it's really cute and has held up well.
I love the Lakeside stuff, I just got their new catalog today and there is so much cute stuff that I would like to add to my yard.

I think I am going to have to get this one.
Since I am not buying plants or mulch this year, I am going to get some cutie garden things.

I have two more metal flamingos coming in, to add to my patio collection. I wanted to add one a year, but this particular style came only as a pair, so two it was.  |

Where did you get those Val?
I'd like to get a pair for Nancy, her yard is full of bird statues (probably over 100) but she doesnt have those.

bedding.wards.com/search#w=flamingo&asug=Aso at Ginny's, Through The Country Door and Seventh Avenue (all owned by same parent company). I bought one of the flamingo planters last year from there (second picture in search), and had a metal flamingo I bought from Ross the year before. I decided to collect kitchsy metal indoor/outdoor flamingos.

Finally found a fountain I like, in my price range:  I may or may not paint it another color when it arrives. Depends on how it looks with the rest of the stuff on the patio.  |

Dumb question. If this text is in a listing for solar fountain, does it also mean it runs on electrical current? Zen-like soothing sounds of water cascading down tiered ceramic bowls. Solar panel and 10' l power cord. Pump included. Assembly required. 20" l x 17" w x 21" h. |

Good. My patio doesn't get sun long enough during the day to use solar powered stuff.

Can you paint the pink set?
Love the bench though, and you could make a cushion for it with colors to bring everything together.
And flamingos go with anything!

Heck, I would like a couple of those hanging over the bar that separates my kitchen and den.
Those are really cute.

We had an awesome "patio" when we lived in our 5th wheel, Dantes. We put 3 of the large green fake grass mats down, overlapped about 1/2" so no dirt gaps. Then used landscape stakes to keep them in place. Had patio chairs, lounger,patio table w/ umbrella (and twinkle lights) out there. I had larger planters at the corners, and along the 'front' to make an 'entryway'. BF at the time built some 'benches' that were on the outer edges of the 'grass patio' and served as both seating and plant stands. They outlined the back of the patio and outside edge, the inside edge was against the trailer. He took cinderblocks set lengthwise (for height) every x feet and then used 1"x 10" or 12" boards for the seating,lying on the cinderblocks. The cinder blocks were painted differnet colors to match the colors in our patio cushions. He stained the wood and then used a weatherproof/rainproof sealer over it. All less than $150 and the patio was awesome. Gave us what, 240 sf of outside entertainment area? We'd get lots of visitors (mobile home park).
The grass rugs are great because you can sweep or vacuum them, and water runs right thru them. Plus nice on the feet if you're barefoot.
Ooo almost forgot. We had a small dorm refrig out there too, under the awning, that we kept stocked with water,beer and soft drinks. I still miss that "patio"!

My backyard sucks, I don't even to where to start to make it look nice. A serene outdoor space is at the top of the must have list for my next place.
