This was an ugly, outdated tissue box cover. I think it'll make a beautiful planter when used upside down. Now, I just have to find a plant that needs a new home.

I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.

I like the boots.

No idea what the second thing is either.

OK - so I lied about the first image being my wife's garden. That's my girl friend.

Just kidding. I found that image online and new I'd get some mileage out of it.

Last Xmas grew 10 differs amaryllis some here are leafing out nicely. Almost ready to prepare the bulbs for the holidays.
Tree frogs are starting to come back after the area was sprayed for a stink bug infestation that was so severe the state authorized air spraying . The bugs were attacking the states crop of hops. The beer industry was in desperate shape as hops in a major ingredient.
The hops and the frogs are doing better this season. Hurray!

repurposed containers are the best.
