An Ugly Planter

 Hubs has a way of sneaking in decorations he knows I will dislike. 

Maybe he figures I won't notice them but I always do.

Such is the case with a watering-can-shaped planter. 

It's got frogs and lady bugs all over it and a slinky, snake-like vine along the handle.

Ooooo weee.  This is an ugly one. 

I was liking how the blooming flowers looked on the steps outside the side porch.

One day, while admiring the beautiful flowering plants, my eyes zoomed in on the watering-can-planter, plunked right down on one of the steps.


"Now where the heck did that come from?" I asked  myself, even though I knew the answer.

But in the general scheme of things, it's not really terribly important so I'm letting go of my dislike of the ugly planter.

It's actually kind of growing on me. ha!

Our one-year-old granddaughter gets quite a kick out of it. 

She stares at the frogs and lady bugs from a safe distance but won't go near the planter.  

Smart kid.

Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit.
