If you have ever had a sandbox in your yard and there are cats in your neighborhood, you know firsthand that the two don’t mix!  This sandbox is a genius way to give your kids a place to play without worrying about them scooping up kitty poo.  AND it will look great in your yard!  From exaco.com,

Bring the beach to your backyard with these fun, safe and innovative sand boxes. Each assembles quickly and can be placed anywhere in the yard. Roof canopy protects against intense sunlight, rain and keeps the sand clean and sanitized when closed. The wood is smoothly finished with softened corners and is treated with an ecology protective water based preservative.

Isn’t “sanitized” a much nicer way of saying kitty poo?

This makes me want to stick with the manual push mowers without even a small engine!

Happy weekend!

If you enjoy watching birds in your backyard throughout the seasons then this feeder will draw them in.

Sunflower
seeds are a favorite food of many backyard birds. Our well-designed
sunflower seed feeder attracts chickadees and finches as well as larger
birds, like cardinals. The top of the 4-qt feeder lifts easily for
filling, then slides down securely. The wire mesh seed holder resists
squirrels. Made from steel with a durable powder-coat finish. Comes
fully assembled. 12"x12"h.

and it is on sale; 23-8123  Price: $36.95 Sale: $24.95

This is totally ingenious. A collapsible wheelbarrow makes hauling your yard stuff around so easy, to speak nothing of the convenience of storing this item. My gosh, can you imagine the space you will save not having to put your wheelbarrow somewhere in the garage?

The design makes it possible to sweep, rake or roll a load directly into
the barrow without lifting. The sturdy canvas barrow makes it
lightweight too.

It’s $125 from Smith & Hawken
