Re: What's happening in your garden?
The gardens are waking up here, so the Grampa Otts will be busting out of the ground soon enough. The veggie gardens are largely planted except for the tomatoes. We still have ice under the barn, but with luck it'll be melted by June.

Re: 1920's? Strange Lamp Finds
Thanks Ron. Once I get something in my head I need to find the answer. After my neighbor gave me her headboard lamp answer I did a search which brought up many versions, one quite close to this one.

Re: 1920's? Strange Lamp Finds
I spoke with a neighbor about the lamps as I was giving her some pin up lamps I also found. She thought they were used as a reading lamp on the headboard of a bed.

Re: What's happening in your garden?
