At least I'm hoping so, if I lose this many trees every year to them I'll cry.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-78534855230224014342011-04-02T21:30:05.612-03:002011-04-02T21:30:05.612-03:00What a beautiful penny!

It bounced right back, bigger and better then before. They are super tough shrubs. I lost my serviceberries to voles/moles.

I thought so but nice to know others think so too.<br /><br />Laurrie - who knows, you may find something yet! Although I wouldn't mind not finding stuff, it's a lot of work digging all that glass up.<br /><br />Karin - The main draw with this house was the history behind it. The stories here are fascinating. One thing hubby pointed out was someone was probably very sad to lose that penny because it would have been worth a whole lot more at that time.<br /><br />On my Soapbox - keep digging, who knows what will come up! I thought I was done finding garbage in that bed but it seems there's always more.<br /><br />Janet - yup that's me. kinda goofyMargueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-15600752554131561212011-04-02T17:12:16.899-03:002011-04-02T17:12:16.899-03:00Melanie - oh I hope you're right!

I used to love marbles as a kid, so pretty.<br /><br />Jane - I never imagined I would be digging up old broken bottles in my garden or century old pennies. You never know what you might find! As for planting near the road, beware!<br /><br />Jennifer and Frances - I've seen a lot of these markers over the winter and wondered what they were all about. Now I know! Unfortunately these shrubs weren't in the line of the snowplow itself. Instead the weight of the snow being thrown was enough to break them. Other than moving all shrubs back even farther there's not much can be done.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-2622554146637691192011-04-02T11:29:52.383-03:002011-04-02T11:29:52.383-03:00Wow, that's really cool! :) Chuck collects coi...Wow, that's really cool! :) Chuck collects coins. If we're out on a walk and he spots a penny on the road, he always has to stop and pick it up. He says it's good luck. I say that one of these days he's going to get hit by a truck while he's bent over picking up a penny. lolKynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-80116240969409234982011-04-02T08:09:39.142-03:002011-04-02T08:09:39.142-03:00OK, "You're a romantic"!

Apparently most of my yard is right along an old pasture fence line. This was a cow pasture once.

We put up markers (a stick with a bright flag on the end) in the hopes that they would serve as a guide for the sidewalk plow this winter. In years past he often swept away the front part of my garden along with the snow. We will see soon if these efforts paid off. <br />What a cool find the penny is! I am sure it is a good luck charm for sure.
