The Gardener

Grandma Debbie worked feverishly for days to construct some beautiful planters out of old reclaimed wood. "Reclaimed" in the sense that she was driving in town one day looking for garage sales, saw some people sitting in their garage on a Friday afternoon after work drinking beerd, and asked them if the pile of wood on the curb was for the taking. It was, and my mother will talk to anyone!

She placed two planters on my back porch and brought the heavy dirt over in a wheelbarrow. After planting and watering flowers, Grandma Debbie stood back and said to the dogs, "Don't even think about digging in there!"




Beowulf McBeagle (Wulf) apparently didn't get the memo; but, he didn't destroy any flowers--he only licked them.
