Life, Interrupted

...but don't let Ardath hear you. Ardath is my much-neglected Celtic Harp. She's very excited about the move and money-tightening, because she's bound to get more attention this year. Why laugh?

The harp is at the bottom of the stairs.

No, really.

I simply ran out of strength at that point. If a thief tries the place tonight, he'll get one hell of a surprise when my attack Celtic harp nails him to the floor. Same with the car -- the railroad spike dragon will jump out of the trunk at the worst possible moment during the 'jack. I just need to get the Xmas cactuses, peace lily, Norfolk Island pine and spider plant. Then the only stuff left is flower pots outside, and garage/shed stuff. Which will sit there for a while.

I just realized that Highway 290/Pink Buttons and Lindee White are antique roses that only get to 1-2 feet. They might work in my big glazed terra pots.

I know, it's rose lust. It will pass...maybe.... They're pink and white, and I really want a red, but the smallest red I know of is Martha Gonzales, and that's 2-3 feet high and wide. It would only work for a season -- then I'd need to give it to someone with a house.

I already weakened and bought a tiny hibiscus plant. It's the red I've sought for for years. It jumped into the grocery basket and refused to get out.

Really.

It will live inside until I'm positive the weather has stopped its bouncing ball behavior.
