The other day Margaret told me an endearing story that I must share with you.
Her father had an old tire hiding in the garage and was tired of looking at it. He asked her…” how do I get rid of it?” Margaret in a moment of creative inspiration suggested he turn it into a planter for the backyard. This is what he did!Wow, Margaret was impressed and so was I. Now I know where she gets her creativity.
With an old tire, spray paint, flag, garden soil, and plants this was an easy-to-do project that brought many accolades from family and friends.
