elaine, we all have the same psychosis:

Definitions of hoarder :

•a person who accumulates things and hides them away for future use

•One who hoards; one who accumulates, collects, and stores

•my definition:
Don't throw anything away, maybe we can use it for a planter !

I tip my hat to you.

HEHE,, well I wish the neighbors would do that with their dryer sitting in their back yard. Hmm, I might ask them to come look at yours, it is nice.
I love the sand pit.

One, I have two big tree trunk pieces I use as plant stands, never thought of hollowing them out.. thanks for that idea.. they are from two of my favorite old trees that we had to take down because of ice storms or disease. I miss those big trees..
last winter I used cheap shower caddys to put things in, then I hung them around the barrells out back..

That's adorable Elaine! I'm hoping you're in a warmer location and don't have to move everything seasonally!
