Gifts

My mother was visiting with her sister and mother this past weekend, and she came home with such a pleasant surprise for me.

My very first lawn ornament! I am thinking it is supposed to hold Bird Seed - and I briefly thought about purchasing some. However, I have been reading the World of Yardcraft blog - as well as other blogs - talking about pesky squirrels. I decided I did not want to put anything in my yard that would attract them.

I realize this next bit is a little late - but when I was at the farmers market mother's day weekend, I found the perfect gift for my mother (I know - last minute, but that is me, hehe), It was from the same booth I found my banana tree, they had this beautiful "Firecracker" plant - I looked at it and immediately thought of my mother's garden. (I really need to do a picture post of her garden) So I picked it up - took a picture of it and send her the picture on Mother's day (since she was out of town). I found out that she has been looking for this plant, and has wanted one for a long time - what luck!
