Sigh - I envy my more southern and western sisters and brothers, at least where I live, Walmart, Home Depot, etc. don't have much out yet. But. For us space and price challenged, I was delighted to find a Suncast resin storage box 22" x 22" - snaps together in minutes - at Walmart for ~30$. I own the Suncast vertical shed - these ARE resin, but, they are holding up great and keep the water out! Good stuff for the price! Also there is some organic gardening soil with 3 months of natural fertilizer for $5 a bag - this is some of the best soil I have ever seen, already has perlite - I never pot straight from the bag without amendments but I was able to with this stuff. And one cheap Queen Elizabeth bagged rose, for a problem spot that needs a nice tall bush. I'll be heading back to get some more soil, and any interesting roses.......

Marie I have been to to both Cavalia and Medieval Times. My opinion is they entirely two different types of performance. Cavalia is more about the bond between man and horse. Medieval Times is purely man riding horse. Other than a bit of passage in MT there is little similarity. Cavalia is ethereal. Medieval Times is about action and kitschinees. It's like comparing ballet to burlesque or an opera to a rock concert. Both are entertaining but nothing alike.

Lesmis - what a great site - I am not a cow stuff collector - but there were several things shown that I absolutely love. They have a few large size cow figures that I think would work well to recreate that sign I like - Dilly Dally suggested that it might be easy to make one - and with one of these cows, I think it would be. What fun - thank you all so much - I ahve so many choices now !!

When I moved to George West, TX my lawn had a huge fungal circle. It was so big I could not see it from the ground, but I could see it from the Google Earth pictures. If you stood in the yard all you saw was the deep green grass growing faster than the rest. Inside the circle the grass was sickly. Actually, outside the circle it was sickly, too. The only good grass was at the perimeter. Fungus can be crazy. Over the next couple of years the circle expanded until it enclosed the small tree in the middle of the yard. I had that yard transformed when I left, but the new owners have gone a different direction.
