As you enter the gate and walk on the flagstones leading to my front porch, you'll first notice a big planter. Every spring, I buy some annuals to fill the planter, which is at least years old and make of solid concrete. Talk about heavy!

This picture was taken in the fall of 2006:

Muslims aren't fond of visiting my front porch. LOL.
We infidels
do need our lighter moments, any way we can get them.
