Treasure Hunting


We were invited to our friends' house for supper last night and it is beautiful!  They have worked so hard painting, scrubbing, carpet and tile.  It is gorgeous.  But then I checked out the back yard.....  It was a jungle as the house had not been lived in for a while but it was amazing!  

Grape vines, rhubarb, strawberries, dill and who knows what else were stubbornly standing among the weeds.  So of course I asked if I could dig a rhubarb plant!!

The coolest thing was that this family had taken trash cans with lids and put the the down spout into it to use as their water barrel.  Since we have so much rain our friend attached an overflow hose on to them which can water the grass instead of running down the street.  It was a wonderful treasure to find!  My husband and I were excitedly talking on the way home about it and where we would put it.

Amazing what we find when we SEE!!
