    My neighbor was throwing the metal frog away. I rescued it. I sprayed it hunter green and gave it two yellow marble eyes. The wooden box was one dollar at a yard sale. The flowers were free at a local greenhouse.

    The "kid" that lives with me went to his Grandmother's funeral. When he came home he had a few flowers from the funeral. A week later they were looking bad. I noticed around the base were seeds that had fallen. I dried them a little longer. I planted them the next year and have been doing it for the past seven years.
