The Runaway Balls

My husband surprised me one day with two large stone balls for the front garden. He had to have two men help him place them. I just loved them peeking out of the salvias near the sidewalk. Our neighbors would walk up the hill and take a rest, letting their kids sit on top of the balls. This is a story of how the balls wound up hidden in our backyard.

Thanks for viewing... These are not light, which led us to believe they would always stay where we planted 'em!

I love that story, too funny. Although, the last line might have been "Car-ma" ...
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.
