Something Made of Nothing

I am really intrigued when I find something that is made from things that would ordinarily be ignored or thrown away.  I thought I was so clever when I made a fence for my garden out of sticks from the beach.  And then I found this...

This is an elephant made entirely of beach wood.  It was made by a young woman who graduated from Block Island School and it was her senior project.

Obviously, I am going to have to spend more time on the beach!

Beans!

We were away from our Block Island house for a couple of weeks.  When we got back my garden looked as if it were on steroids - except for the part where the deer ate about a third of the tomato plants!!  As I wandered around checking on the plants I discovered a bean on the plants I started from seed.  Then I found another and another and then all these.  I think it is more fun to plant a little seed and then come up with something like this.  Miraculous.
