A Yen for Zen

I helped my Mom and Dad make a Zen Garden for one of our clients!
First, we picked out some rocks that symbolized Buddha and some animals.
We found a big fish, a snail and a frog.
Then, we made a bed of crushed granite, placed the animals so they were looking at the Buddha stone and raked a pattern into the gravel.

Meanwhile back home....
our neighbor has been making these lovely garden screens.
He recently gave us this one, as a memorial, for Dad's father who recently passed away.
We are so thrilled!

Here are some of Arnie's other pieces. 

I give it 4 paws up.
If you have a 'Yen for Zen' and are interested in a lovely garden screen, send us an e-mail to wyattsriot2010 at gmail dot com. Arnie's prices are very reasonable....shipping, probably not so reasonable. Just drive over here and we will set you up!!

    Those are such lovely garden screens. If I had a green thumb, I'd so want one of those! Alas, I have none. :-( But I loved looking at them in your pics! I need you to come here, Wyatt, and give me some gardening lessons! Great header photo, by the way!

    The Zen garden is very serene; you all did a fine job. Arnie's screens are absolutely wonderful! Momma wishes she lived closer because she would LOVE to have one or two for our courtyard.

    Beautiful screens - sadly we live too far for buying them. We have a wooden Buddha in our conservatory and have tried chewing it a bit and I think we dogs might make that Zen garden not so peaceful if we started to play there. You and your peeps made it so serene - love from Magic x

    We just LOVE seeing your landscaping designs! Mom especially likes the Zen stuff. Probably because she's so NOT Zen but want to be, BOL! Those screens are fantastic! Thanks for sharing! More, more, more!
