While I was shopping today, a sweet little rose jumped
into my cart and wanted to come home with me.
How could I say no?
I even let it sit up front with the bananas. :)
I'm also pretty sure I bought all the groceries in Greene County,
Ohio. Three stores...three carts full.
And I filled the gas tank. Yep, I think I spent enough money
today. Oh dear. haha.
♥
I know where i'm going for dinner. Will you pretend i'm one of the picky boys? I don't eat bananas. haha.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses. Will you have to keep it inside until plantable spring arrives?
At my house the poor thing would die. I'd kill fake house plants.
haha...please come...there are even choices now that we have food! lol... this little miniature rose can be kept inside like a house plant! I thought it was so sweet.
DeleteLove your sweet little roses ... Carl brought a smallish Christmas cactus home for me a few weeks before Christmas .. I am trying desperately to keep it going. I re-potted it yesterday, it's already twice the size it was when he walked home with it, so I may be doing something right?
ReplyDeleteI have one...it seems to be barely hanging on all the time, although it did bloom for Christmas this year! If you've replanted, you really are doing something right! Mine just looks neutral and not happy. lol....
DeleteThree carts, wow
ReplyDeleteThat is like a whole cow hahaha
And hmm you walked into this one
So I will have my fun
Maybe you are bananas at your sea
So the rose jumped in to attach itself to your banana tree haha
yep, I hadn't really done a full shopping trip since before Christmas. We were out of everything from tp to pringles. lol...
DeleteOh come on...you knew I was bananas before this post. lol... at least the rose wanted to belong to the zoo. ha.
not rhyming...I knew...long day. ha.
After shoppimg that much
DeleteCan't blame you for loosing the rhyming touch
goodness...does the hubby know? haha...i imagine you do spend quite a bit to feed all your men...cute rose bush as well...
ReplyDeleteat least I had a 50-cent off each gallon with my Kroger card. ha.
Deleteoooh lovely rose! pink is my favorite
ReplyDelete3 carts, 3 stores? so glad I'm not the only one that does things like that! lol
We were out of EVERYTHING! ha. Might as well get it all done at once. You should have seen the jeep...that rose had no choice but to be up front. haha.
DeleteWe were out of everything this week too. I warned them that I will no longer be stocking junky snacks they should start craving healthy food. :) haha
DeleteOh, I'm sure that went over really big. lol...
DeleteI made a chili-roasted cauliflower dish tonight from Pinterest. It was really yummy!
ha, yeah. they'll get used to it! :)
DeletePinterest is the bomb! LOL
I did that a few days ago...three stores not three carts. HaHa.. I did my monthly at Costco, and I love a few things from Trader Joe's and then our local grocery for what left. I can't buy produce at Costco, it spoils before the two of us can eat it. However I do get their fruit...we go through that pretty fast, especially if the boys visit. Tonight it was cold, so my dearest requested Shepherd's Pie. It was good.
ReplyDeleteYour Costco is like our Sams Club. They do have the best produce! I buy my meat there and freeze it. Feeding 5 men is amazingly expensive. ha. I love Trader Joes, too, but it's not close enough for me to go as often as I'd like.
DeleteShepherd's Pie has got to be the ultimate comfort food! yum. :)
Yes, Costco is like Sams Club. I buy my meat there too, and separate and freeze. I know just how much I can buy because of the size of my freezer. That's why I use canned beef and chicken for casseroles as I have plenty of pantry space.
DeleteI've added some pink to my splashes of red and decorated my front porch already for Valentines. Rather early, but Spring will be here before we know it, and I'll have to pull out all my Easter and yellows...but it's what I love to do.
pink and red sound perfect and cheery! I still have my Christmas things on the front porch! ha. But I did take it all down inside. Just a few vintage postcards that celebrate new years are inside now...changing those little things for each holiday and season is fun, isn't it? I do have a Valentine's wreath for the front door. I think it might need some freshening, though. Might need to get on that soon! ha.
Deletesuch a treat for the eyes your rose is! I like your hand bag too!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pink. I think they were well stocked for Valentine's Day. Tomorrow I'll find a pretty pot to put it in and it can cheer up my desk! :)
DeleteI see you are having rotisserie chicken for dinner...hahaha...been to Costco!
ReplyDeleteThe rose is precious...I hope it flourishes...remember the Miracle-Gro...
Our snow is melting as well...supposed to be in the 50's on Saturday...
Fabulous!!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Yes...it's Sam's Club here. We always have that chicken on my shopping day! :) Too easy!
DeleteI used to feed FOUR men, so I understand how much food it takes!
ReplyDeleteI hope the cats don't decide they like your rose bush, too. Our cats' favorite flower (to eat) is roses.
Oh, that is funny! Well, they have expensive taste! :) I can't have any big pots in the house anymore...they think they are litter boxes! ha.
DeleteSWEET LITTLE ROSE BUD YOU ARE! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I love so much roses and this is adorable! So not only animals want go to your zoo now the roses jump to go your garden or home lol
ReplyDeleteso cute!!
Yes, it's so tiny! ha. I'll keep it inside where it is warm. Yes, it wanted to come to the zoo garden! haha.
DeleteI wanna go too but Im not sure if to the Zoo or garden; the food in the zoo is really good lol
Deletehaha...thanks. Yes, I think the food is good, too! And you could help! :)
DeleteWhat funny would be, if I can I would love go to your home and cook with you, love your kitchen! mine is small:(
DeleteABout roses I have a lot but with this hot times they open so fast, yours look perfect !
well, you know what they say...the best food is made is small kitchens! :) Your roses are so beautiful and big! I love the pink ones!
DeleteWow...3 carts! Well, it takes a lot of fuel, I would guess, to keep those men going strong.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will last a while!
DeleteI love how splashes of joy can jump into a shopping cart!!! LOL! Yes, I'm sure you had spent enough with all that! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun when that happens? ha.
DeleteBetsy, that shopping trip sounds like some of ours! I just HATE it when it's time to "restock the pantry" and we're out of almost everything. Nice touch on the rose though... a little sprig of happiness to offset the cringe at the checkout register.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean...it took me all day to do that shopping and get it home and all put away! ha. The little rose was a little gift to myself for a job well done. lol....a little sprig of happiness...love that. :)
DeleteI have a short list (sometimes) and am amazed at the total bill! Must not stick to the list/ha
ReplyDeleteI love your little rose bush. a breath of spring!
it's warm enough to be spring here today! The snow is gone and I cracked the kitchen window open!
Deletesounds like a fun day! I love those little rose bushes, hope yours lasts a long time!
ReplyDeleteI usually have trouble with dust mites, so I hope I can keep them away!
DeleteI used to teach at the vocational school in Greene County when Wally Gossett was the principal. Anyway, we would go to Xenia quite often for a lunch or something. Haven't been back since I left the school and started working full time at my home business. Gary and Pam Sergeant were my best friends back then. They don't live in Xenia but in another smaller town whose name I have forgotten.
