The Cement Shishi

Moms Shishi Lion
This Shishi Lion, one of many in my collection, has a major significance because of it's origin.

When I was a kid my parents owned and operated Wilsey Nursery. In addition to selling plants and trees they sold lawn ornaments. It's where my love of lawn Gmomes began.

This cement Shishi Lion was in fact painted by my Mothers own hands.

It currently lives on my deck within view of where I sit at the kitchen table.

--Another memory of my Mom. There are quite a few.

  1. I have a pair of "Its" from Mom when they sold the concrete lawn ornaments.
