Sadly, the plant is no longer with us. It wasn’t my fault, I swear. My cat decided that pulling off leaves was fun and took the plant apart. Sigh. It just wasn’t meant to be.

On another note, I do have my Jade plant that is quite hardy and fully living. I have that one where the cat can’t reach, and it’s completely safe. So really, plant 4 is all good!

I kill all plants. Seriously. Just not a pretty picture. However, the impulse struck me to try again, and I picked up this rose plant. Turns out it’s a Canadian rose and very hardy. Thus, here’s hoping that I don’t kill this one. And it is a pretty picture. 2 weeks and counting…

Happy Spring!

Here’s irony…or…Murphy’s Law for you, you choose. I had put off changing my tires for quite some time, but it had come to the point where I just had to get them replaced. So on this rather chilly Saturday, I got in my car and started off to the Mavis nearest me. Mind you, Mavis is only about 3 miles down the road. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I noticed that the car seemed off, but figuring that I was going to Mavis, I let it go. About halfway to the place, a woman jumps out of the car behind me to tell me that my rear tire is flat. Seriously? What is that about? The tire, not the woman.

So fine, I thanked the good samaritan, and went along the last mile to the Mavis. I parked my car and took a look at that pesky rear tire. Would you believe staring me right in the face is a screw that punctured the tire? I mean, I find it funny that the death of my tire was due to a tiny piece of metal and not the neglect that should have ended it.
