sore thumb

Remember how proud I was of the pretty pink flowers I put in those planters on the side of the garage? Well, they didn't last very long. I think Derek was taking care of them while I was in Germany but I seemed to have lost interest in them. We had lots of rain in the past few weeks but these guys were protected from the rain by the garage overhang. So, basically I dried them out pretty good. So much for my green thumb. Actually I think it had less to do with lack of a "green thumb" and a lot more to do with an abundance of "lazy butt". And now since all the nurseries have closed up shop for the season or don't have any left, I'm either going to have to leave the dead ones or remove them all together. Either way, neither option is very attractive.
