We only bought one thing in Providence, at a hip garden and florist shop. It was a head, the top open for flowers or indoor plants. We have named our garden toad “toad,” but we don’t have a name yet for our new head, which will join the back porch, already the sacred ground of barn cats and chickens. It spoke to both of us, it fits right in. We have to get him some hair.
