more spring/sprung

Upon returning home recently from being out of town,

I knew Spring had sprung

when I saw this:

It's an old, cast iron hog feeder trough

that I have on my back deck.

Really!

I say, what's wrong with a hog feeder on the back deck?

I did re-purpose it,

'cause there are no piggies around here!
(well, there was a little pot-bellied piggy roaming the neighborhood one summer,
 but that's another story for another time:)

So, it now holds dirt :),

and I guess that's not far from the farm...

Anyway, sometimes I plant annual blooming things in it.

But check out what's coming up this year:

Aren't those some of the COOLEST mosses?

And it looks like they are blooming already!

I'm thinkin'
maybe I won't be planting
any annual blooming things
in the hog feeder trough this year!
