Early this morning, our concrete garden burro,
Mojave was enjoying his desert front yard,
when he suddenly noticed an odd little
visitor darting around the yard!
First he was in front of the mesquite tree.
Then he ran in front of the big rock.
Next he stopped in front
of the Rosemary bush.
Mojave was curious.
Just who was this little fellow?
Hello, he chirped, I'm Rusty!
I've come to add more interest
to your desertscape.
Actually, Rusty is a concrete
roadrunner garden statue we ordered from
Little Baja with the same terracotta
finish to match the burro.

I must admit, when we ordered him out of
their catalog, I pictured him much bigger.
which is why I moved him from his
intended spot in front of the tree to further
back in the yard. I didn't want someone to
walk off with him.
He shows up better in front of the green
rosemary instead of the salmon colored rock.
Next it was time to retire the 17 year old
porch light that came with the house.
Everyone in this neighborhood
has this same porch light.
We wanted something a little unique.
Something that looked a little more
Mediterranean in theme.
With lots of black wrought-iron details.
On a whim, I also picked out a
vintage style LED light bulb from Lowes.
It offers a warm glow while
the visible filament peaks interest.
There are little bubbles "seeded" in
the amber glass globe to suggest an
old world feel.
I just need to add the finial.
There, not a bad looking light.
I might have just upped my curb appeal!
Don't you agree Pepe?
Pepe likes!
Another Little Baja garden ornament!
The light is from Lowes.
It's called the allen + roth Grandura 18.63''h
Mercado Black Outdoor Wall Light.
It was $79.98 when I bought it this February.
As dusk falls over the newly
accessorized front yard.
The warm glow of the porch light
adds a touch of romance!
Just in time for Valentine's Day!
Thanks for stopping by
and happy hunting!
