The Gardener


Photo is by Larry until I take camera and photo MIL's heather, but it's not blooming any more. I just wanted to tell you the funny story she told me about the directions she gives her gardener. She can no longer do these things herself, so she has Rubin come twice a month or as often as she can get him. When he came the other day, she said, "I don't want it flat, and I don't want a ball." Rubin looked at the shrub, looked at MIL, looked at his pruners, looked at MIL and said "You don't want it flat and you don't want a ball." Then he repeated the whole thing. I'm glad they get along.

I am so sorry that I manage to answer only now. You wanted to know what is rescue remedy - I hope there is enough space - joking. It is homoepathic remedy. I do not go in H. remedies but this works 100% for cats and is 100% safe. against schock (life saver) stress depression etc. A kitten gets diarree very easy from there to diadration schock and kidney failure - see what I mean. A cat has very sensitive kidneys. Rescue remedy contains something like a dozen plant extracts. I tested you can just type in rescue remedy and google will find it.
By the way. get that camera lesson. I do not stop clicking. that is FUN.

You MIL is funny! I remember meeting her with you are Winco awhile back. What spunk!
I guess he could create a cube! That would be interesting now, wouldn't it? Hee, hee!

That's so funny! I'm always telling my dad and the Mister that they tend to prune everything 'til it all looks the same...flat or round!

The clever Rubin shaped the things sort of like ice cream cones, complete with ice cream. They have now had a growth spurt and are getting huge, but they've got no flower tops, like my Candytuft. I hope I remember to take a camera soon.
