I Might Be Redneck.....

I take great pleasure in using found objects to plant flowers in. When we began cleaning up different areas of the park we came upon some, shall we say, unusual items. One was this piece of Terracotta sewer pipe. Love of my life saw trash and wanted to smash it and toss it in to a hole with other trash and fill it in. I saw a flower pot. I struggled with a shovel to create a hole about 2 feet deep and after a lot of hard work I planted the pipe and then filled it with potting soil. I have some creeping phlox in it and usually plant wave petunias in it. This past winter was bitterly cold and wet and it cracked. It was looking like I would have to dig it up and get rid of it.


I am loathe to be defeated by mere circumstance. I pondered many remedies and realized that duct tape will fix ANYTHING........ So I wrapped the pipe with duct tape; then stood back and took a good look at my handiwork. Then thought....I just might be a redneck. Still unable to admit defeat I sent love of my life on a mission (he was going on one of his many trips to the hardware store anyway) for rope. It didn't go on as easy as the duct tape, but did improve the image quite a bit, don't you think?

I did it!!!! Finally got the camera to talk to the computer. Honestly, I am not really sure how and this could be a once in a lifetime event, but I will keep playing with all these fun buttons and see what happens. I am so inept at all this..........
