Random rambling.

.

The husband and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary recently… and there were flowers.

.

We’re lucky to have a wonderful local florist just a few miles from our house.

.

.

Or should I say I’m lucky, as the husband is rarely able to forget special occasions.

Our florist posts pictures of the arrangements she makes every week on Facebook and this recent customized request for a chef made me smile.

How clever is that?

Enough said.

🤣

We’ve been having a strange influx of evening gtosbeaks recently. They visit in large groups and are quite a dramatic sight.

Cold?

Yes, it’s been cold.

Brr!

Things I don’t like today… Part 4.

 

I don’t like….

Ordering flowers over the phone for a friend who just had surgery down in North Carolina. I wanted a large, impressive arrangement and was very specific with my request. I said….

No carnation fillers.

All pink and purple.

An interesting vase… definitely no clear glass.

So what did they deliver for $160?

A clear glass vase, filled with carnations… and a few yellow roses and orange gerber daisies stuck in for no other reason than to piss me off.

$160 worth of everything I didn’t want!

 

 

I don’t like….

Ordering a pair of hard to find little batteries from Amazon that fit in an envelope.

And having it come in a box.

Talk about overkill.

Reading Maine native Stephen King’s latest,

And realizing he’s lost his touch.

This new book? Meh…

Don’t bother.

 

I don’t like…

Buying a tin of Altoids to keep in my car,

Getting them home and realizing…

They’re slightly past their prime.

2009?

Damn. That’s worse than what I have in the back of my kitchen cabinet.

 

I don’t like….

My husband getting called into work on a weekend because,

Some idiot doesn’t know how to steer his hot air balloon.
