So the theme this week was A New Appreciation. It took me awhile to come up with something but then as I was looking at my crock my mom and dad gave me for my birthday wondering what to do with it a memory crossed my mind. I remember when my mom first got the crock from her Grandma she would fill it with things around the yard and riverbank. I remember the corner it would sit and I also remember us kids throwing balls into it, brushing up against it and so on, I remember the mess it made that we had to vacuum up and also I remember thinking, "really mom, a crock of weeds?" Well now that the crock is mine, I went out to my mom and dad's house, went to the very same back yard and riverbank and got my own weeds for my own display of fall beauty.

Hi Cindi
I'm new here. I found you because we have some blogging friends in common. Great display. I always put "weeds" in vases or jugs, no matter what season.
