I killed it....


yep, my poor little rosemary is dead. Death by black thumb. Seriously, the only plant alive in our home is one that I rescued from my former apt. neighbors trash pile. I don't know the formal name of it, but I'm calling it DC (for Destiny Child, the originators of the Survivor theme song). Really, unless Kj's watering that thing on the sly (which I doubt in that he takes a small sadistic piece of joy in watching my "black thumb" and "plant killer reputation" grow darker and darker), it's just determined not to leave this world. Fine by me. ;-) So this morning I bid my fine little rosemary Cmas center piece - beginning of inspirational "I'll start and herb garden" thoughts-not quite as resilant as I thought- little plant, farewell in a trash bag that just barely missed the garbage man this morn. So she lies in wait in our garage in the big green trash collector. Kind of ironic that it's the biggest green thing I own. ;-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

I seriously think art is your forte (when it gets done) and you should stick to it. And here's an idea, buy fresh flowers weekly from because they are SUPPOSED to die. ($4 at Walmart!)

Aw, mine looks like that too if it's any consolation. Let's just say that rosemary plants are winter plants and they're on their way out for spring! See, that makes me feel better... :) I didn't kill it, winter did.

my dear liz, that's tan. otherwise known as brown. the flash made it ultra bright.

tasha- I gladly accept your nomination for president. ;-)

ricka- you're right. I should just paint a pic of a plant, hand it on the wall and call it a day. hehehe

my colein- thanks! i'm pretty sure it was me, but I'll blame it on winter too.
