Day 1: An ugly pot and flowers.
In high school I had the world’s best friend. I suppose we were so close because we both knew the pains of growing up under the thumb of an addict. My friend’s mother was an amazing, talented, and inspiring woman during her highs and a pained desperate woman at her lows. My girlfriend and I did everything a pair of high school girls could do for a deeply disturbed drug addict, but in the end, the drugs won and her mother hung herself.

I hated the iguana pot and frequently poked fun at her mom for having it. Her mother always told me that when she died, she was going to leave that iguana pot to me. It has lived in my kitchens for the last 10 years as it did hers. The flower arrangement was one that my friend’s grandmother made to match the pot, it never seemed right to separate them so they live in my kitchen area as well.

Wow, a fabulously poignant story with a very fitting end. I quite fancy that iguana pot, as it seems a little magical! And do I spy pink flamingos again?!?! Nice start to your month of photos!

That's sad but you have captured the pot and flowers very nicely indeed.

Sad story, but I really like the iguana pot because I like lizards. I look forward to seeing your photos for the next 30 days.

Extremely sad story, though I think the pot is nice, I love lizards. A keepsake to treasure. Isabella
