Minor comment on a couple small matters [View all]

Almost too trivial to bother with. But - I read an excellent idea recently for using shower curtain rings on clothes hangers for neck scarves.

And... wait for it! ... a neighbor lady who's a sister thrifter asked me if I had any use for the lid from her old round trash can. It took me awhile to think of something, but then I realized I was looking at a winter cap for one of my outdoor plant pots that are too big and heavy to drag indoors during the snow&freeze season. A brick or two on top to hold it down, and it will work just fine.
