The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 23 August 2019 14 Comments

My lemming here is mostly to have someone come and plant miniature cacti in all my old candle jars (and then, presumably, to come back later and replace them). From P.F. Candle Co, a terracotta jar with soy wax candle, in Night Blooming Jasmine, Lavender or Western Red Cedar, $30 at Nordstrom.
