RE: yesterday in the garden...

You really DID have a wall begging to be filled and what a lovely armoire to
fill that space!!!  That is a beautiful piece.  I knew you'd think of
something!  So, what does he think of it in person?

As for your trough garden, it looks great right now.  I can only imagine
what it will look like in a few months!  Please keep us posted.

Blessings,

Thanks Bonnie-  I just posted a pic of the trough garden AND the 
armoire.  My solution to the problem was to say "can I borrow your car, 
I need to get some more bags of soil"- then went and bought the armoire, 
unloaded it and got it in place before he even knew I bought more than 
groceries. I'm so glad I got it- it is just beautiful.
