Your photos are beautiful--the galvanized containers look blue in the sun. Love how the finite brick assortment determines your design.

You didn&#39;t miss much by pouring it down the drain. The name and label sell it-- not the taste!

They make a concrete stain, would that work? Or you could drip oil on it...pretend it&#39;s a driveway with a car sitting on it dripping various things........

I love the brick path---what about hen and chicks in the bottom of the water tank?

I have never seen another fire extinguisher like mine!! In fact, while reading your post, I looked up to be sure mine was still in my living room! LOL! Mine was rescued years ago by my Mother from an old cotton gin in Simonton, Tx. It is a twin to yours!! I grew up in Simonton and still live here, so mine has a special place! I hope he (or you!) will enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!Never Enough Thyme Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13018122247116341488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235116393079026217.post-15977183672019150582012-05-24T08:17:15.919-05:002012-05-24T08:17:15.919-05:00I&#39;ve missed your posts but it seems like life has been getting the best of all of us lately.

I don&#39;t know enough about it to know if it&#39;s good wine, all I know is that I like sweet wine. This label is great and I would&#39;ve bought it just for that.Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584848020504689004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235116393079026217.post-85827783626476682872012-05-23T16:01:39.079-05:002012-05-23T16:01:39.079-05:00So nice to see your post...<br />gosh when it rains, it hails I guess...<br />sorry you&#39;ve had so much of that kind of stuff going on!<br /><br />I am a sucker for packaging and can see why that wine &quot;spoke to you&quot; ;)<br /><br />take care dear Jill<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235116393079026217.post-77300318560554377752012-05-23T12:20:56.107-05:002012-05-23T12:20:56.107-05:00Yay! welcome back!
