  Hubby and I decided to stop at the thrift store...I was just walking along not really looking at anything when I saw this solid wood homemade wagon.....the wheels have axles and turn the hitch comes down and you can pull it....but it was red and green......but when I saw the hearts on the wheels I knew I wanted it for our front patio for valentines.......so I for got to get pictures of the before but right now turning the green into a soft gray....picked up a few decor from the dollar store and will show this off when I get it all done...the wagon measures 30 inches long x 20 inches high solid wood......and cost me $7.49 plus tax...I am excited about it...just perfect for the patio

Stand so tall and then the wind comes up and down they go.....mine are white with just specks of pink and then at the end I have one red plant.  This  year it came up big and tall and had about 5 blossoms on it.  The smell is just amazing also.  The ones around our wagon spread out all over the fence.  Last year a man stopped by and asked if he could pick a couple for his wife.  He said he was laid off and no money and it was his wife's birthday. So hubby and I said ok go ahead.  This year he came back and asked again.  We asked how he was doing and he said real good a nice job and money coming in.   So why then do you need to pick our flowers....He said "because they are pretty".  So we said "no not this year".  We really don't want him to make a habit of pi
