This is the time of year all us Gardeners love.

Everything is sprouting, blooming and just plain growing!

We start to see our fruition pay off.

And the air.....

the air smells heavenly,

the air sounds heavenly,

all is right with the world when you are in your Spring garden.

I took time to take walks through my gardens...

it was heavenly.

My front gardens:

There used to be a "peace" climbing rose along with this red climber

on the arbor. Seems maybe the red one has squeezed it out.

Banned from Woolworths- Didn't like shopping there anyway

Yesterday I was at my local Woolworths buying a large bag of Purina dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

 
What did she think I had, an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but that I'd lost 2 stone before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

 

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again.

 

(I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me.

I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's arse and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

I'm now banned from Woolworths.

Better watch what you ask retired people.

They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
