Fussypants

I hate that Mythic week always falls on the one week that I'm super busy and can't take advantage of that free Heroic Nyalotha item!

This summer hasn’t turned out quite like I expected but it’s moments like this that make me so happy to be where I am right now. Home, with family and friends, and biking with too many plants 7/7

Luckily, I’m a pretty good problem-solver... and also very stubborn. I managed to fit 8 of 9 plants into the basket and could carry the final pot in one arm. It wasn’t graceful but I managed to make it all the way home biking with one hand and a basketful of plants 6/x

Here’s the other wrinkle to the story - I don’t drive to work. I bike. So I had to figure out how to get 9 plants into my tiny little bike basket and safely to my house 5/x

Well today was Struggle Plant day! I eagerly picked through cartons of dalias and alyssums and petunias and found a cluster of 9 plants I just *had* to bring home 4/x

I always look forward to when they put out racks and racks of struggle plants for us to choose from. Even though a lot of them are in rough shape, there’s always hidden gems to be found. Plus, what’s not to love about a Charlie Brown zinnia? 3/x

Most of these plants are on their last legs - they’re annuals that are past their bloom, they’ve been eaten up a bit by insects or they’ve got a couple broken stems. Collectively, I refer to them as “struggle plants” 2/x

Short story time! I have a wonderful job at a garden center, as I have mentioned before, that comes with some unique perks. Every once in a while, they’ll have free plants to give away to employees, which are usually the leftover plants customers don’t buy 1/x

Today at work was just absolutely nutty in every dimension. Just about everyone under the sun that I knew visited me, there was a fight in the cashier line, AND I had to call an ambulance for a customer at my station. I need to not think for a while!
