Plants are ON MY MIND

It's that time again.... On My Mind Time with Rhonda and the rest of the blogger's that participate in this weekly feature at Down to Earth

The plants that I bought last Saturday at the new State Farmer's Market are still waiting to be planted. I could have done it yesterday since I had taken the day off for our 26th wedding anniversary but I decided to have a "shredding day" and I shred old papers ALL DAY! Amazing how much builds up when you are working yourself to death for a Company. It actually made me feel GREAT! A lot less paper clutter and it definitely helped make the front room look a lot better.

Three new plants and the Easter Lily that we are still waiting to bloom.

Sunday Scott wanted to take the used oil to the recycling station but they didn't open until 3 on Sunday so we did a little driving and looking about. Down a frontage road we came across a beautiful fushia pink wild rose and I said - "Gosh I'd love to have a piece of that"... so Scott drives back to the house and we grab a shovel. This rose was growing on vacant property out into the right a way in a ditch so we just dug a couple small clumps out of the ditch and brought them home. I planted one next to the mailbox and the other next to the neighbors fence on the right side our house. The one by the mailbox is not looking too good but is still green so I keep giving it water and am hoping for the best. The lady across the street came over and told me I needed to put some rotten bananas or a chopped up banana peel around it and that would help it - I may give that a try.

Wild Rose hanging on by a thread.

And the final thing was Carrolyn's UGLY fabric arrived and now I have to pair it up with some other fabrics and turn it into something she will drool over. I called Scott in for re-enforcements as he is a color wizard and can match up colors in ways I've never even thought about. Can I say again how happy I am he is MY husband.

I came across this in my Picasa Album and thought it was hilarious... still don't have a clue how it got there but I have to share:
