I covet my neighbor's forsythia bushes. They have about 6 huge bushes that one doesn't notice throughout the entire year until spring when they are a huge wall of yellow flowers.
Because the house has been vacant for a few years, and because the bank is clearly taking over ownership from the latest house flipper that has tried to rehab it, and because I walk on the wild side (I'm practially a CIA operative. I'm surprised they haven't contacted me for a mission yet.) I went over and "borrowed" about 8 shoots to "recycle" in our yard.
My heart was almost to my throat the whole time. Judging by the tingling in my right ear, someone was staring right at it. I have an uncanny way of sneaking around an area the exact minute that the owner shows up. Anyway, the mission was successful. I am safely back to base camp. The shoots are in a bucket of water right now.
I'm going to try to emulate that row of forsythia bushes along the side of our yard. Success is not imminent, but when you are basically in the black ops nothing is for sure.

You are smarter, funnier, and prettier than that poser, Pioneer Woman.
I think your insights on cat/deer interspecies interaction alone could get you a Bloggie this year!
We have calculated that this entry was the day Zachary Alexander was conceived.
How strange that "bemis" is the word verification word.
Contemplating beauty and the things you love on El Dia de Concepcion. Interesting
