I’ve been eying this figurine on the porch of Jack’s Outback in Cambridge for weeks, I’ve even taken a few photos of it. I bought it from Jack today, we are putting it in the soon-to-be-expanded Dahlia garden in honor of Spring, which appeared suddenly today. Jack says the figure is a mermaid, you can see her tail and conch, and she is also wearing a fig leaf. I might bring it into my study as a muse, I really love it and maybe it will be happy in the Dahlia garden, I am happy to have it.
