This winter, I bought a bag of silver forks at Savers. They'd been drilled through the handles, and two of the seven were attached to this heavy silver ring. Today, V and I attached the rest, fashioned a wire hanger, and put it up in the backyard, hanging off the clothesline. It sounds really lovely, though the wind has to blow pretty hard to move them. And I like being the kind of family that has seven forks hanging in our backyard.
The slugs and other crawly things were enjoying the fruits of our lack of labor.
And V enjoyed the slugs and crawly things.
I think these are daffodils. This time of year, I'm so pleased with my past self for taking the time to plant flowers. Because I need inspiration something fierce this time of year.
I hope spring is coming to your neighborhood, too!

Dear Jennifer....They Are daffidols and look to be coming along quite well...slugs are interesting and you may already know this that when they become a nusiance to vegtables and such, placing a small dish of beer near them they will gravitate to the beer, crawl in and be happy with their fill until they are no more....we should all have such a happy time. Today I was able to clear the boulevard garden of winter straw covering. Tired when finished but oh so happy being dirty. Looking forward to our visit in June. Grandms S.
by the way....love the fork, wind chime!!! Grandma S
Wow - your spring seems to be ahead of ours this year! Our tulips and daffodils are just starting to poke up, and the crocuses started blooming about a week ago. Love the forks!
