Dancing Mandolin Player gave me the beautiful gift of flowers in my mother-in-law’s old soap kettle yesterday. Isn’t it beautiful? I have planted various flowers in this pot all by myself, but the outcome was always…pitiful.

I do not have the gift. And fortunately I have a friend who shares hers.

Let us celebrate the first day of sunshine, shall we?

DMP also gave me this sage plant, as she knows how much I love cooking with sage. Retired Mountain Lady told me to clip my music stand lights onto the top to give the plant a boost.

I did what I was told.

I look at this and see future chicken dinners, don’t you?
