D'oh!

I'm a moron. I was in my garden this morning looking for weeds to pull. Most every weed here has something sharp and prickly on it, so I like to get them young before they have a chance to get too painful. That's when I noticed this really strange looking group of stems coming up out of the ground in my bulb garden. I looked at them closer and I had never seen anything like them! They looked almost like asparagus. I tried to pull them up only to realize that the root wasn't coming up with them. I did a little digging and that's when I remembered the hibiscus I planted there last year. Yup. I just removed all the new growth from my hibiscus. If I may quote Homer Simpson, "I am so Smart. S-M-R-T!" and lets not forget "D'oh!"

Phone Conversation with My Father

Me: Hi Dad! What's up?

Dad: I found a mouse on the front step. I'm going to buy a aquarium for it and bring it over for the boys.

Me: Can't you just feed it to the cats?

Dad: (Chuckle) No. The kids will love it.

Me: Seriously. Just flush it down the Toilette.

Dad: No I really think the boys are going to like it. It's cute.

Me: Dad, it's a wild mouse. It could have rabies.

Dad: I think it's store bought and just got loose. It's a white mouse. Anyway I just wanted you to know that I'm bringing it over.

Me: Dad you can't! It's a mouse of questionable breeding and background.

Dad: (Laughing) So are you.

Me: Why don't you just keep it at your house?

Dad: The kids aren't over often enough for me to keep it here.

Me: I'll send them over twice a week to visit it.

Dad: I was just going to drive over and leave it at your front door and run away. You should be glad I'm warning you.

Me: It could have a disease! I can't keep it here. Give it to Jonny! (My youngest brother)

Dad: Here, talk to your mother.



So far no mouse. we'll see what happens today.
