Well its been awhile
summertime has me ninjagardening my own yard
some of the things I have bedoing involve a large score of

discarded building material that I aquierd.



I found the wood and the storm door as well as mettel roofing, walkd along the road for the rocks that I needed
total cost
$0.00


The OG has had a bad summer so far,
Motercycles started rippin through  it again
but that seems to have stopped for now
also the land next to the land I glide through was
attacked with bulldozers and chainsaws
for the building of a barn and stable (Better then a house)
it has made for a less intement experience.

these are some of the tracks left behind by 4 wheelers
this is in the cemitary, :(


My son came for a visit and I took him through both the OG and the NG and it was nice to see him.
we went for a hike on the Piedra river
and left this behind for others to find

I will post again soon

After Garden Gardener Season

 and it gets back to the time of year

For

Ninja Gardening

OG, the Original Garden

                                                   I been Takin it old skool,

By that,
 I mean I am working in the Original garden lately.
the winter snows
as well as Vandals
 wrecked havic on the gardens
and I had been having so much fun in the new garden area
That i neglected the OG.
so I slowed down, looked around and I Recreated and  rediscovered

                                                                                                     What I thought was lost

These are some of the things that tickle my eye,

As I

Glide through the woods.

Sometimes its strange that these things are here at all,

 seems they just

Magicaly appear

Go Play,

Go Make ,

A Pleasure Garden for yourself

Peace in Y'all

Sometimes I wonder
             what someone would think
                                  if they chanced upon me
                                                                    In the woods

as I uncover our yard

and discover whats been sleeping

Under the snow.

I'm also discovering the Forrest that surrounds us

 wandering through the woods

following deer trails

Picking up pieces

Of

 rotting wood

dusting it off like a diamond

and presenting it as art.

would they look at me

like

Someone painting by a stream.

or

would I appear

A madman...

Peace In Y'all

oh yeah and as a special request

Horse shoe pits

Dart board

 (Lower part re purposed lattice)

And

N.M.C.C.

Sitting in the woods I feel at peace.

In a world that makes little sense to me

I feel so lucky

to have a Retreat.

The Nice thing about Ninja gardening is

You can NEVER make a Mistake.

what ever you do,

its the way its supposed to be.

Lately I have been enjoying putting
interesting wood on top of old dead scrub oak branches.

I find a cool peace of wood then I clean it up, bring out all its good sides, place it on top of the Stick,
then I Clip away any twigs around
it to give it that Floating look



I also like to highlight areas that catch my eye,
stumps, Rocks or even  a group of trees.

there seems to be

 a calming effect on me

As I drift through the woods

UNaware of time

Or

the need to do some thing

Correctly

To be a ninja gardener

is

to create a Peace garden

of your own design

And leave it to be discoverd

even if its only for you

and the Deer.

who have given me

their blessing

by not running away

 from me anymore,

Don't you just love peace.

Trespassers will

                                         
        As a Ninja gardener I trespass,

        If i didn't I would just be landscaping.

The new area that I am creating in requires,

That I cross over fences

3 Times.

sometimes I wonder about the person who,

 OWNS the land,

what would they think if they knew what I was doing on their land.

would they like it

would they hate it

who knows?

the way I look at it

I go onto your property

create a work of

Temporary art

and then gift it to the land owners

for my appreciation of the joy it gave me to

Play in the woods.

I only use what I find laying around

all art will eventually

return to the earth.

Lately though,

the fact that I trespass

has taken on new meaning

I have never met the person who owns the land

don't know who it is

as a matter of fact

I have never seen another person there

EVER

yet I am never alone.

walking along the trail

the locals watch me

wary of my every move.

the locals of course are

the deer

and this time of year the woods

Are thick with them.

I can usually walk up to them pretty close,

then sit and watch as some 20 deer

disappear then reappear between Bush's

all around me.

today I walked up to them in what I call

"The Gallery"

they were laying there in the morning sun.

The Gallery is a circular pathway

that I have concentrated art pieces

in a spiral fashion.

when I show up

I sometimes get the same feeling I got In Hi.

when you walk out on  a

 Locals only beach,

Deer

" Stink Eye "

and though this may sound silly

It is weighing heavy on me.

funny...

I don't think about trespassing

The Land owner

But I do wonder about

The Deer.

so these are pics of what I do when I am

Trespassing on YOUR land.

hope It's cool,

                                                   for EVERYTHING.

Peace in Y'all

SPRUNG

After shaping snow all winter

And slogging through the woods,

The snow is retreating

revealing to my delight,

the Ninja garden.

We have also been discovering

our new yard

it should make a nice canvas.

We are ready to play

We are setting up

The

" Nipple Mountain Country Club"

 1 Hole

Par 1

Golf course

We are also putting in our

 Horse shoe Pits

Now as we discover the yard,

We must

Uncover the yard.

There is a thick coat of

Pine needles all over the yard

so to promote the grass

(or any thing that passes for grass)

we rake the needles

but what to do with all those needles?

Well as

Ninja gardener's there is only one thing to do,

CREATE!

So we have been raking the pine needles

into ring shapes around the trees

Landscaping

using only what was

Already there.

"Temporary Art"

We have fun making the rings

just put your feet on ether side of the rows

and sloosh walk them into

ANY shape YOU want.

Its just another way,

to create beauty from nothing.

Now go have fun!

I am getting into the

Ninja garden more often

and having  a ball.

Peace in y'all

Sand Ninjas

I saw these photos of a fellow Ninja
He uses a rake and a beach to express his Creativity.

Enjoy

How do you express YOUR creativity?

Oh Yea!

Next winter,
          Ah yes there is always
                                 next winter

Har Valar Y'all

Ice Lanterns

What A nice gift I received the other day.
A fellow Ninja brought me Ice Lanterns she made for my birthday.
not only that she gave me the D.I.Y kit as well. so I thought I would Share it with you enjoy.

Step 1 Get BIG can and Smaller can ( About the same height)

Step 2 Fill the outer can about 3/4 of the way full
then put the thinner can inside the wider can
displacing the water to the top of the big can.
Place a weight like a rick or a chunk of fire wood
on top to keep the thinner can from floating.
got it? good now FREEZE it over night.


After it freezes you can run it under a little hot water
 and it will slide out.
Slide the inner can out as well,
now you have an Ice cylinder.
You can freeze ANYTHING into the mold
to add interest.
She also made one the same way but packing it with snow,
Which we found EZ to carve into, Check em out.

Oh What a Night

 The day after
this is what we found.
I hope you have fun with this....
                                                         We Did
Peace In Y'all
