On my shopping list yesterday: soil enhancer with worm castings and seaweed, flat of pink impatient flowers for shade, one pink peony in gallon pail, deck sealer, one Italian sub sandwich and one giraffe. My husband inhaled the sub but he loved the giraffe more. After its debut photo shoot, I found it gazing out the window on our dining room window sill (placed by the sub inhaler). Life is short my friends. Hold your head up, stand out in the crowd. And, oh yeah, don’t be a shrinking violet.
