Thanking Michael Graves

It was probably somebody in the Michael Graves studio, not the man himself, but Target sells a homely watering can that is beautifully balanced so that it's much easier to carry and to pour from than the green uglies that are to be found everywhere else. The spout can be turned to be a sprinkler rosette or a pourer. A cut-in makes it easy to fill in the kitchen sink without having the sink fixtures get in the way (especially too-long aerators). There were just two and we bought one. It may be a discontinued item, since it's not to be found on the Target website. Now that we know how great it is, there'll probably never be another to be found. This is always our luck with consumer products. Acemart has stopped selling Fiestaware by the broken case. As we were leaving with the year-long supply of heavy-duty foil that we came for, there was a catering truck in the parking lot from Nuevo Leon, and all the Acemart workers and hangers-on (and this is a hangout) were lined up to have a second breakfast.
