Carrot Top Flower Arrangement

I was cutting off the tops of my carrots the other day when I said this foliage is too nice to throw out. So I stuck it in a blue tea pot. After a couple of days, I decided I'd find some flowers to stick in as well.  Voila...a beautiful arrangement. Next time I'm going to cut off a tiny bit more of the carrot top so it stays in the teapot better.

Even more amazing, 2 weeks after I took this picture, the arrangement is still looking pretty good.

Self Centering Tape Measure

Denise & Rick,
  Here are two pictures of the Self-Centering Tape Measure Vic got me. He says he got mine from Sears but he also saw it yesterday (Sat 12th) at the Ace Hardware Store in the Seven Hills Shopping Center on Cedar Crest Drive in Paulding County. There is a Publix and a Wild Birds Unlimited in that shopping center. But he says he bets you could find it at any Ace since Ace Hardware carries Sears tools.

I can see why a self centering tape measure would be handy! I never knew there was such a thing. Nothing like creating a little tape envy.
