My GARDEN Lady Face on My Tree

I had fun a few weeks ago , perusing eBay, I sell antique paintings on there ( or try to ), and I went on a Search in the garden plaques area...and found this little garden lady face plaque.

I really did not know how she would look, I usually do not nail things onto trees ( except my little planet basket in my front yard ), here...

 But I have not had a face of any type on a tree. 

 Plus guess what ? She was only 9.99 plus shipping ( made her almost 20. ) total. She is made of concrete , I had seen some resin plaques, I do not like resin items... and the man who made her says she has outdoor paint on her.

I'll find out that for sure with time.

I liked her flowers around her hair, her vague expression ...and I saw when  she arrived, looks like this top left area had broken or something and he smoothed it and painted over it nicely. That made her damaged but repaired , like God is doing with me , like we all are everyday. 
I prefer character over perfection.
It made me like her more.

I really like her on this River birch tree we have. See the bark gives her a great accent , a nice background. 

See, there she is up on the tree, right in front of my shade garden. I see her walking down my steps to my garden, and from my big window that we sit and eat near.
I love how the colors of her flowers in her hair, match my caladium leaves.

I often look at objects in people's houses or gardens and figure out , or pontificate...about what they represent or symbolize to the owner. I look at this garden lady face , and come up with something sort of deep but also sort of very basic.

I believe , to me, that she represents that this is a woman's garden ( who created it ) , not a man's garden...and also that she represents me...in a way, watching over my garden.
There ya go, Psy. 101 for the day of my brain ( scary territory to explore )...and my endless pontificating,


Bless you all today , 
Gina
