Making The House Our Home

I've been trying to follow Bob's advice (from the other side) to "make our house a home" and so have been working on some much needed landscaping.

I took the old claw foot bathtub that we removed to make the bathroom wheelchair accessible for Bob and painted it pink to match the house.  I was looking for something to plant in it, and was thinking of some type of clumping bamboo and when the person at the nursery suggested "Buddha Belly Bamboo" and I nearly fell over.

Years ago, when Bob complained he was getting a little "pot belly" I told him not to worry --- he was cute and I called it his "little Buddha Belly". My mom, as a joke, bought him a little Buddha statue and he began collecting Buddhas......

So this is Bob's memorial corner:

I think he'd love it!
