You haven't met my Andrew lol. It is said that St. Andrew was Jesus' brother so
there may be something to the name. Every Andrew I know is "busy". Andrew's
keep their parents thinking and on their toes, he is secretly my favorite
because he is most like me. I love all 3 of my boys for different reasons,
Andrew is my challenge but he is also the sweetest, kindest person I know other
then my Grandfather... two peas in a pod those two are/were.Grampy and Roo
would sit together for hours chatting and watching cartoons together. Grampy
passed when Roo was 4 but Roo has wonderful memories to this day. Grampy is the
one who introduced me to the wonders of wildlife.

No not the one inside the house silly.

I mean a defunct one, out in the yard as a decorative accent of
course. A planter, potted plant...

What plant would not only look good in the white comode but also have
an inside joke or wry wit?

Hmmm...St John's Wort?

My knowledge base is small...

skip the planting and make it your compost pile

or if you insist, you could try cultivating a new type of dandelion.

you could name them ****entoilette

It was quite common in the small town where I grew up. All of a sudden,
bathtub shrines started to appear in gardens in the mid 1960s. The fancy
ones had lamp sockets wired into the drain hole to allow for nighttime
illumination.

Actually planting in a toilet is quite fun and neat.
I get many many compliments and a lot of conversation about it.
I first tried plantine directly, but not real successful
so now I webt to a "basket" in bottom and annuals in top...

You now when I read stuff like this I started to think of living
sculpture. Years ago a few folks would mound up soil into a chair,
bench or table and plant grass or other hardy ground covers. Was fun!

Hey I may want to have a toilet planter but I also thought this is a
lovely imagery.

Grampy is the
one who introduced me to the wonders of wildlife.

I'm a wild pig and I am a wonder! :-)

Okay that settles it, now I want a tank. I only have the bowl.

Unh...not to start a political flame war but I am thinking I could
also express my personal political view if I had 3 complete toilets,
one red, one white and one blue. I could then plants bushs and shrubs
in them.

But my yard isn't that big so maybe I can scrounge a tank and a seat
that are blue and red and just do one, err, unit.

I like this too!

One possibility is a small tree with a toy car smashing into it.

Geese = feathered evil

Porch geese = clever way to fool the populace into thinking geese are sweet
gentle motherly type birds (as in Mother Goose) Stand one on your front
porch and dress it in a "cute" little outfit to match the season or holiday

You can get ceramic paint in craft stores. Most require baking to
become permanent though. Get some painter's tape to outline your
patterns and away you go!
