Those are pretty measuring spoons. Do you collect shot glasses? (I mean did you collect shot glasses before this?)

Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

For some reason, quite a while back, she decided to do something very special for me.... probably just to see me cry at my picnic.... it worked!
That little sweetheart sat down and designed a
gnome clock.... just for ME! She documented each step in the process with a beautiful book and included "THE Poem" that was written as M'Ladies headed off on their epic journey to Cedar Hill. You don't get to see everything, but..... she included the original design sketches.
After adjusting colors and details on the sketches, she searched for just the right craftsman to create this work of art just for me. With the perfect piece of white pine in front of him, and mallet and chisels in hand, he began to carefully carve and shape my treasure....

BUT most importantly I have learned with 10 years of your dedicating yourself to the Garden Helper Bill, I could Not have sincerly said any of the above. And The Clock was just a big Thankyou From Texas!!!!!
Thank you once again for All you've done for all of us!!!
I Didn't Mean for Tears of Joy to Flow ~~ Just meant for a lot of Smiles!!!
But it did touched my heart that you loved it to tears! :wink: You're Very Welcome!!!

It certainly was nice to see the outpouring of love and friendship from all across the country this past week. I even got a little teary eyed (and no I'm not afraid to admit it). There were a lot of precious memories made this past week and I sincerely hope we can do this again another time!
