What my brother found in the woods

Thrilled!!  Huge!

His neighbor told him that original owners threw all sorts of outdoor items behind the house, not very far into the woods.  It's where he found the vintage cast iron sink I have.  A huge concrete birdbath also, missing the swan that once sat on the rim.  Otherwise, very good shape.  

When he asked if I wanted a vase he found, I expected .... a vase.  Not this!  It's the same as mom's which we've restored from breakage.  I now have a matching one.  I leave as is, chipped layers of paint.

 I don't know if I would ever find the bottom pot/base but can use some sort of stand.  It survived half buried in dirt for 60 years or more.  I told him to take another walk back there!

I didn't get my CT scan after waiting many weeks.  It was so difficult to sit in that waiting area.  We met Carole there every two weeks when the amputation wasn't healing.  Hubs conversed with the transport team while I went into the exam.  I thought after two years this would soften some, but it's more intense.

My doc office ordered a routine chest CT, not cardiac, not the new scanner.  So we wasted a beautiful weather afternoon, and I have no idea when they will reschedule.  The cardiac technician only does this scan on Thursday mornings.  All the office staff left or retired when the office closed along with their affiliated hospital.  It was months.  The new young staff is not as reliable as their prior generation was.

It's a sign of the times when you say "you should see the pot my brother gave me", and they ask if it's buds, gummies, or liquid.  And a sorry state when you smell it in public places and offices because they can't be without it.

My gummies are vitamins.

Decided on a gray moon, keeping that design moody.  

Be safe!

What a great pot your brother found. Hard to believe you have an identical one.
Ugh on the CT scan. Medical issues can be so frustrating. Hopefully they can reschedule soon.

Wonderful find from your brother! Amazing it matches the one from your Mother. Ugh is right on the medical issues. Hope you get the test soon.

What an awesome find your brother made. The "buds, gummies, or liquid" question did give me giggles though. IF they are gardeners, I think we know what they grow.
Bummer on the CT being the wrong one, also on the rescheduling being so up in the air.

Beautiful pot.....and I mean the one your brother found for you! I have pulled up next to a car reeking of pot, cloudy like Cheech and Chong, only to have them open the doors and have little kids climb out! Sorry abut the frustration with CT. healthcare is not the same and getting worse.
