Glenda wanted a pic of my new watering can with the flowers in it. They are cut flowers, not growing there.
We put the primitive table by the front door.
I repotted the snake plant and today I noticed a gnome living in it.

Neatly arranged Dooley. There must be good shade from the Mother in Law's Tongue as the gnome fellow looks pretty happy there. What's the bird in the circular wall hanging?

Beautiful Carnations, Dooley.
I have a couple of great old galvanized watering cans,
and I love arranging flowers in them, too.

The bird is a cardinal. dr found it at a thrift shop. It's labeled as a stepping stone but I couldn't see walking on it so we hung it on the house. dooley

You're good at arranging, Dooley! Do you collect Teddy bears too?

I think this topic may answer your question Droopy:

I think it's safe to say the answer is YES, right Dooley?

We do have a few bears around. Maybe 400 or so. We started when our oldest son made us Teddy and Anna Roosevelt for Christmas when he was at Cornell University. Then, he made us another one the next Christmas and gave me a subscription to Teddy Bear Magazine. Of course, I had to try my hand at making them and it spiraled off from there. Now, I think a week doesn't go by without a bear finding it's way in the door. If it does, the next week there will be two of them. Frank is right about there being no room to sit. Now, with the organ taking up a large amount of space the bears have moved to the middle of the room and there is no space at all. Our house is too small or we have too many things. I guess we'll have to do what we do at the library when the shelves get too full and weed out a few of them. Speaking of weeds, I guess we do a bit of that in gardens, too. Sorry, I got carried away a bit here. dooley

I adore people who get carried away when talking about something that interest them. More people should possess that kind of quality.
