don't adjust your calendar.
this is a replacement mothers day lime tree for the one i received 
in may 2011.
i loved watching it grow, flower & produce limes.
i loved grabbing a fresh lime at happy hour.
i can't wait to do it again.
and i promise to water this tree!

one impulse purchase.
we never buy anything at the art festivals
but this was just to cool to pass on.now
one vertical chess board now hangs
in our front room.
and the front room has never had this much traffic.
colin has already demolished me in a game.
now justin & colin are playing a game.
everytime they walk in the house the make a move & 
drop their backpack.
one great purchase!
