I enlarged your photo & it sure looks like it. No wonder you cannot drag it around. I love your garden with all the wonderful things you so lovingly grow. Wish mine were even a third as nice as yours. Looking forward to watching your garden grow. SandySaundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022337477187448272noreply@blogger.com
