    One of my customer called me up. Said to come over had something for me. She no longer wants to garden. So many trellis, big container2 Copper garden art. I did take care of flower beds-but she is moving.

    How thoughtful of your customer/friend--giving her garden items to someone who would appreciate and use them--and on your birthday, too.
    Congratulations, and happy birthday!

    What a lovely thing for your customer to do! You must let us see photographs of all the goodies you got.

    She is coming over to our house today. Wants us to over see selling her house. See if I got any pictures of her land. (Very) high view of Iowa river land.
