Here is a great way to re-purpose that old wobbly step ladder that no longer is safe to use.

Good here to hear. Our winter was very mild this year. I did have many of the semps with the soil washed away from their roots. But they were still doing well.

She would scratch out everything. She still follows me around when I go out, hoping I'll uncover a bug for her....

That is such a nice picture of Abigail, looks like a glamour shot with those lovely eyelashes! Hilarious! Lovey dubby

I find my chickens to be so much fun too! Mine come running every time I pick up the shovel Rolling on the floor laughing then I end up looking for grubs for them and don't get my work done! And yard eggs are the best!! Thumbs up

Lynn, when i was a Lowes this last weekend, they had the 5 gal. buckets stuffed into each step, but they had tools in the buckets. But a hole could be drilled in the bottom and something like Petunias cascading out would be beautiful.
so may great ideas, I just stood there looking at that ladder, One of the ladies ask "may I help you?" I told her "I think you already have." I felt so silly, just standing there looking at that ladder.... Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

I'm not getting the picture in my head Charleen, with the 5 gallon buckets in the ladder? Sound intriguing.
Can you get a photo of it?
