Look what I found this morning!

This was in front of my classroom door this morning. Isn't it cool? The agriculture/shop teacher claimed it was an early retirement gift. I'm retiring after 34 years in the classroom on July 1st. Woohoo.

Well, easier said than done. I had a green thumb many years ago, but when I started having children and responsibilities it seemed to vanish. Maybe now is the time to try again!

That's great! What a terrific surprise, and congratulations on your retirement.
You could always do it with excelsior baskets and silk or plastic flowers.
I'm useless at container gardening, too.

Awww. I'm not really a fan of stray objects filled with plants, but that really is adorable. :-)

Cool!
You could keep anything in there; doesn't have to be a plant.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
