I also have a wagon similar to that. I bought it especially to take to the cemetery when I plant flowers. Great to haul plants, mulch, shovels, trowels, etc. Then it folds up and goes back into the trunk of the car. Much better than dragging bags of stuff all around. I bought mine from the Gardener's Supply catalog.

murraysmom, I wasn't translating your early 2 pics well ... until I received further info ... ... and when I shifted my gaze by 90 degrees ... things looked much more reasonable. Thanks for telling me "where to go" ... with a smile, possibly? (That's the preferable way of being "told where to go"!) ole joyful

This is a painting that my sister-in-law's sister did for me. I had sent her a picture of a Martha Washington geranium that I took. She was sick at the time and so I sent her some of my photos of my flowers. Just a couple of months after I sent her the photos, this painting showed up at my house! I was stunned by how beautiful it was and how striking that it looked just like the photo. She has since passed away, so it makes the painting that much more precious to me.

The monarchs are on their way home for winter migration...when we were in Cape Cod in September a few years back, we saw so many flying by...quite a sight!

I wanted to glue a jigsaw puzzle together, but I didn’t want to glue one of my nice ones. So I got a 100 piece puzzle from the dollar store and glued it last night. It was fun to do, but I have no idea what to do with it now.

EDITED to add....I looked up on youtube how to do it. Worked on waxed paper using regular white glue (which apparently works as well as puzzle glue or mod podge).

Put it in a window with a barking dog recording to deter thieves? ;)

Socks, my dog's groomer must have 30 glued puzzles displayed in her shop! All of different dog breeds, of course. :) I don't know if she did them or if others did them and gave them to her. I just like seeing them.

I glued one together and used it as a mat on a side table under a lamp.

I once glued a jigsaw together and some of the glue seeped out. So, being the dummy I am, I licked it up. Now, you cannot tell if I am talking with a straight face or am smirking behind that puzzle.

Marie what are those? Just beautiful!

All my puzzles are on my tablet and phone, so no gluing! LOL

Maire-cate, I've never seen pitchers in an arrangement before. Very dramatic and the colors and veining are fab!

Thanks Raven and Annie - I wasn't sure how to arrange them. Can you believe they were at my local Shop Rite supermarket. What's even odder is that it's one of the smaller stores and they were not expensive - maybe $11 or so. I was surprised to see them and even happier when they lasted nearly 2 weeks. So often tubular flowers like that get all mushy at the bottom and you have to keep cutting the stems.

On my next visit the flower lady was in and I asked her about them. She said it was the first time she had ever seen them in her order book so she thought she'd give them a try.
