One of our hired farm hands is always playing tricks on us. He has a quick wit and makes me laugh.

His parents had a garage sale as they are moving and needed to downsize a bit. I knew about the garage sale, but since they live in a different town, I did not go. Plus, I have enough stuff of my own. As our employee was leaving work one day, he said he had a tin man in his pickup that he was going to take to the dumpster. I jokingly said, “Just make sure it gets to the dumpster as I have enough junk around here already!”

The next morning as I was watering my flowers, I saw the tin man hiding in my flower bed! The funny thing is, I thought he was kind of cute. So I left him there. The next morning the little bucket he is holding appeared. There was a wheelbarrow by his feet the next morning. I had no choice but to plant some flowers in the bucket and wheelbarrow. So the Tin Man has a permanent home among my flowers!

Looks like the Tin Man has found my heart.

Until we walk again …
