So this year I decided to use a jumble of vintage coolers and thermoses as planters and risers at my front door. I can’t get enough plaid so it seemed like a good idea. I have water and bog plants in the big ones and succlents in the tiny ones.

Get it? Get it?
I’ll be in the forum, apologizing for my awful puns.
