Tool time: a cool cooler

The folks at Splash Supply Co., a company out of York, Pa., have solved the problem of where to hide your house keys - and what to do with your cold drinks during a garden party.

This rock cooler looks remarkably like the real thing - a real rock, that is - when the lid is down. Not only can you keep your drinks in it poolside or in the garden, it is a seat as well.

Made of composite materials, it is light enough to lift easily and has a drain in the back. It sells for $389.

Splash also provides services and supplies for building large and small ponds, as well as small water features for the garden.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
