Garden Updates!

Been working on some little garden details lately.  First, I had a nice garden spade.  I really liked it because it had a nice point to it.  Notice I said HAD - it broke last year.  I am such a dork that I didn't want to throw it away because it WAS such a nice spade.  I figured I'd figure out a way to upcycle it eventually.  Well, that day has come.  I turned it into a little garden inspiration.  Here is the before picture:
