i look outside on the deck at the planter, the empty old planter,
there is junk stored in the planter, not a way to treat something so beautiful.
i take out all ov the junk, and put newspaper down on the bottom, and a coupple black garbage bags over top of the paper
i go to the store and buy some plastic.
i line the planter with the plastic, filling it with enough water to push the plastic in to the corners.
i add rocks, and plants and a light or two.
then i go to the shore and get a few perriwinkles
then i fill the planter the rest of the way with water to make a pond
such a beautiful way to keep the planter in use
splendid little prose piece!
