the other day I removed the fabric from a squirrel-eaten umbrella…

I expected it to be difficult but it was simply a case of removing some nuts and the top and then pulling the fabric off…

my housemate cut off the bottom of the stand for me…

today, I topped up a planter and added the umbrella frame as an obelisk… then I planted some of the new morning glory seeds…

next year this obelisk will go into one of the larger pots;-)…
