My husband and I love to garden, but right now, the ground is rock. solid. frozen. You can imagine how excited were were when Pete's sister sent this to him for his birthday:

Fun! We'll be growing our own Smurf village! Stay tuned.

PS: Can't believe i actually pulled these out after so many years. I sometimes joke with hubby that my bag of Smurfs is part of our retirement fund (if only.) Guess I'm trying to justify the dust they collect on the shelf in our basement. Anyone else spend your hard-earned allowance on these? Come on, admit it. If not Smurfs, did you collect other things? I'll tell you about one of my other collections (my favorite one) in another post : )
