Last week Wayne and I made a "tree" of dried bamboo. We have a corner that is an odd shape, and we didn't want anything else to water!

First step was to dry the bamboo, which we did down in the yard. We got it from our neighbor, who has it growing and crowding their yard in one corner. The we wedged one branch between deck and roof, and used various lengths to fill in our tree. Luckily I had some painted canvas birds I had made around last Christmas that didn't sell at my shows, so on they went with Wayne's mother's help. All done! Fun, not permanent, and good for now!
