Town Hall #18: Sunflower
Subscribe to Taylor's Town Hall via email.
Some nice folks destroyed our wood deck. I'm eager to turn that pile of lumber into a wobbly table.
We've been hoarding food containers. Cabbage, kale, eggplant, etc. thrive in old tins of baby formula.
Evergreens and oaks sprouted in unwanted places. Those trees have unwittingly become bonsai, confined to makeshift plastic pots.
Other trees will be spared from plastic pots. They may become decks or wobbly tables one day.
Meanwhile, a sunflower wandered into our yard without permission.
