    That reminds me, I saw some ceramic shoe planters at the store the other day. I laughed and thought to myself... no Stewbie would buy that (I believe they were around $20). They would just get an old pair out of the closet or go to the resale store! :D

    I got them planted a couple of weeks ago but waited to take photos until the plants settled in and started filling out...

    Yep, red Geraniums and dark red Snapdragons...white Daisies and Candytuft...blue Speedwell.

    I have three wheelbarrows, one from my folks when they moved, one from my daughter when she moved and one from the curb in front of the house next door, they cleaned out the storage building and since it only has one handle it was useless to them.

    I like the cat and chicks, too.

    I found this scrub bucket at a flea market this morning. It is missing the "wringer", but I didn't need it. It is on wheels and no holes. I thought I would put building blocks in the bottom to raise it up and put a board across and put two or three pots on the board. I can place it anywhere since the wheels make it mobile.

    It was worth the five dollars I paid for it.
