A worthy presentation

An alarming turn of events....

Dinty Moore, eat your heart out!

A package! A package from Kansas! And what wonders await inside? A work of art for my plants from a friend, an artist, a teacher whom I've known for over 40 years! What joy!

Such an elegant thinness, it has me worried about placing a plant directly into it because of the power of roots to break pots.

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn go down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

~ Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963
