You know those moments when someone picks up something you want at a thrift store or yard sale, and you have to play it cool and hang around the item nonchalantly until they put it down and walk away before you can scoop it up? Well, that happened to me with this pitcher. Twice. While I was looking at other dishes and things, I saw someone pick this pitcher up. I slowly made my way over while she debated with her companion as to whether she needed it or not. I was keeping my fingers crossed, sending mental signals that said “not, not, not, not.” However, by the time she had put it down someone else had picked it up, forcing me to play the same waiting game all over again. Finally she put it down, and I barely waited for her to turn around before I snatched it up.
After taking this picture I had to move these up on a high shelf because Chowder kept trying to eat the leaves.
As side note: It seems like every day there’s something new blooming in my backyard. I’m not sure what those beautiful yellow flowers are called, but they’re new as of yesterday. Does anyone recognize them?
