Dinner time. Pizzas! Expect empty stomach tomorrow morning.. A totally miserable day with occasional spits. Couldn't even be called drizzles.

Been busy getting peoples yards ready for winter. A couple of days ago, after having taken down a customer's shade thingy over their deck, we were all kicking back and visiting while drinking beer. The lady insisted I have a second can of beer and told me to finish off the one I was drinking. So I threw my head back and started chugging what was left in the can. I quickly leaned forward and spewed all the beer in my mouth, right at her feet and all over her deck. Everybody gasped and looked dumb struck, they were all staring at the wasp that shot out of my mouth and was walking around in circle in my spray of beer.

Hi alp,
It was peer pressure. I did ask for an Orange Crush and she brought me a Old Stock.

Haha! That's it. Blame someone else.. You've learned it very fast ... from me! :p You remind me that I should collect my star patterned petunia seeds. Have you collected a lot?

@Logan Good morning, such beautiful roses. Like that floribunda the pink ones. Such a happy cluster. The yellow one is so pretty too. I need to buy some cupcake cosmo seeds.. on my list.. I pulled out my white self-seeded cosmo because it was in the wrong place. How cruel was I?

I don't have this strept any more. I failed to take cuttings. :cry::cry::cry: Think it's called DS Glourami??
