Default watering girl

I put this watering girl out every year, as an old neighbour made it for me, he's been gone a few years now. It's a bit old fashioned, but it's sort of a tribute to Bill.watering-girl-006-640x480-.jpg

That's cute and the colors go so well with all your blooming bulbs. It's so nice to have things in the garden from people that have passed away.

I think she is just too cute!! I like sentimental things too. I plant pansies every year, not just because I like them but because my grandpa planted them every year for my grandma

She is so sweet and in the prefect setting. I too love sentimental plants. I have several that were favorites of people I've loved or have their name in the plant it's self. I even have a few for people who are still here.

Still looking good erdine.

Mine broke a leg this winter so I have to fix it or maybe add another one.
I think about you and your neighbor ever time I see it.
