You've GOT to be bloomin' kiddin me!

This is my landlord's yard:

Beautiful isn't it? Look at ALL those gorgeous flowers in full bloom. *sigh*

Here is our house:

Do you see the pathetic buds in the back corner??

I'll get closer. . .
Yep, that's it for us. 10 pathetic plants that will be dead in a week. No, I didn't plant them. The story goes, "They've been there for 60 years." I think they aren't aging well.

No wonder the kids like to take daily pilgrimages down the hill to see Mr. My.

His thumbs are greener than mine!
