This, That and The Other Thing

 

THIS: A few months ago, my friend Mildred emailed me about a miniature rose she stumbled upon called ‘Busy Bee.’  Can you imagine my delight? I wonder what came first…me or the rose??? Don’t answer….So, I ordered 2 of them…as well as one of ‘The Bee’s Knees.’ They are planted and doing well.  

The Busy bee

It is a sweet pink/orange shade with a yellow center. (do you think I have a yellow center? Don’t answer!)IMG_0007

The Bee’s Knees. 

Deep pink with a yellow center. Notice the lizard admiring the knees of the bees. So cute. I shall name him Elvin.

Well, my knees…not so cute anymore. And they hurt..what is up with that?

THAT: The other night, as I was sitting down on the couch to watch a show, I opened up my little, petite, tiny, itty bitty- pie hole and out came the LOUDEST belch in the world.

I don’t know where it came from. I looked around to see if my home had been invaded by rude and drunken sailors. *none*  The depth of it shocked me so much that I could only laugh. And then, I hoped that no one heard me.  Did you hear me?

THE Other THING: Fill in the blank:

I have 100____________ being delivered today.

Can you imagine?? You know, with my exciting life…it could be nothing anything!

  2. I'm thinking you have 100 bags of mulch being delivered and I'm betting your knees hurt from all the crawling around by the pool with the rocks! Your namesake roses are sweet as can be ~ you should dry a few blooms this summer to add to some potpourri! Hope you don't work too hard this week.

  11. I think it's entirely appropriate that you had a beautiful rose named after you. (I don't know the inspiration for The Bee's Knees!)

  22. Aw, that is so cute you have roses named after you! Yes, you came first, I am sure. 🙂 They are very cute. I think you have green hands, not just thumbs! I can only imagine how much your back hurt after moving all those rocks. I have no idea what I did to mine. Nothing cool like landscaping, that's for sure.
