Mrs. Fix-It

That would be me...
Scout thinks that I can fix anything - so when he and his friends broke my hanging planter while playing outside - Scout told the other young man 'that's OK - my Mom can fix that' - so...

I brought the planter inside and using my smallest drill bit - I drilled a hole in the broken rib...

Then I just threaded a green bread tie through the loop on the pot and through the newly drilled hole in the rib...

and Voila - a fixed planter - one more item that doesn't have to go to the landfill...

and here it is filled with petunias - all white this year...
