Flower of the week

I've decided to do a Flower of the week on Examiner.com. The first flower, Voodoo Lily, an unusually pretty, smelly, scary flower. Click and read.

Tonight Bob and I went to the Apple store so I could attend a workshop on websites, blogs and stuff. Bob shopped a bit while I tried to comprehend all that was going on. I'm not one to have much concentration, but screaming children in the store really helped. Do parents come with some kind of special hearing that they can't hear their little monster's scream? Or don't care that there might be people around who don't enjoy their little monster's scream? Oh, come on, we all feel this way especially when it's 100 degrees outside.

No shoes, no shirts, screaming kids - no service.

Get a grip parents.

White Rock East Garden & Artisans Tour

Confession time. This VooDoo Lily is not on the tour. I took this picture last Friday at Mary's right after our Forest Hills Garden Club meeting. She told all of us her VooDoo Lily blooms once a year, smells bad, but is positively stunning. Here it is and she's right. Mary isn't on the tour this year, but she was last year, so this gives you an idea of the quality of this tour.

8th Annual White Rock East Garden & Artisans Tour, this coming Sunday, May 17 from 11:00 to 5:00 pm. Remember, we have local artists (neighbors) in the gardens. You're bound to find something you can live without; art, jewelry, etc. Even I can't kill the plants I've bought at previous plant sales. The raffle prizes are better than ever. Animal adoptions at the plant sale may have someone your family will love. Of course we will accept donations since the three neighborhoods split the proceeds and use the funds for beautification in each neighborhood. Personally, I'll tell you it's a wonderful party. And good weather is predicted. Go to my web site: www.lottieminick.com for addresses and a map of the garden.

For some reason Miss Computer Stupid can't make my website open to the Garden Tour page even though it shows it's the first page. So just click on Garden Tour info in the upper left hand corner and the click will take you to the page with all the information. See you there.
