Through A Glass Brightly

We had cleared the deck so hubby could wash and re-stain so the flowers are in the yard surrounded by furniture.   I happened to catch the tulips through the table top and thought it was great - -   so here you are  --  blip found and captured!       
     I had forgotten about posting a picture of the Mystery object.  I think i will go up and grab the camera.     Ok.  It's in the extra and you can tell me if you all have one or not.  I grew up with a Pastry Blender which we used quite a lot - or two knives work quite well too! 
       thanks for the marvelous comments on the last few blips and I so appreciate you guys!
