Radio Flyer Wagon, White Milk Can and Porcelain!! WOW

My white milk can now has company.  An old friend 's girlfriend gave me the little

red wagon after seeing how I messed around a little in my yard. Bless her, I

hardly know her.  Then the friend gave me the old chamber pot on the right when

cleaning in his storage unit.  I saw it needed rose moss planted in it right away.

Then while down at my Mom's farm house, I noticed her old porcelain pot with

the red handles and saw the moss was croaking since she is not living there.

I thought I better bring it home so I could water the moss and had a vision of it in this

little wagon with the other porcelain pot. Yep, they fit. 

I also saw that little black tub sitting neglected and needing flowers in it so

home with me it came and it fit in the milk can.  I have never grown Petunias, 

that's one of Mom's favorites. I just don't like the smell of them.

Well, I thought since I took the little tub from her place I would put some

Petunias in it....so far it's working for me, they are thriving in this 100 degree heat.

While thinking about one of my favorite fabric and quilt shops going out of

 business it came to me I had seen one of the white and red pans in her shop

and wondered if she was selling it.  So on my next trip up there it came home

with me for a good price.

I didn't have any dirt from the farm around so I went to Wal Mart and bought 

cactus soil.   I have never used that before and  am not sure how it is going to 

work  for my hens and chicks but they are still alive in it. Hope they thrive

in this heat.  

I really like my little arrangement if I may say so. Just wish it

were not so very hot outside so I could sit and enjoy it more!! 

It would all probably look better with some white landscaping rock under

it....give me time and some $$$$'s and maybe it will happen.

American Flag & Patriot Riders

Talking politics makes me feel stressful, but I

could not let this go without a short post on my blog. A young soldier from the town I grew up in, lost his life in Iraq.

This is just a little of what his family and friends saw

when they were arriving for his service yesterday.

The Patriot Guard Riders and friends absolutely surrounded the

funeral home and streets close by.

The people of this area turned out flying

their flags to honor this young man.

To also remember many other fallen soldiers,

past and present.

To honor God, our country and our military. This picture reminds me of the children's song, "Let The Flags Fly High In The Castle of Your Heart".....for our king is a resident there.
