I paid no attention until I spent an entire afternoon placing, digging, and planting a bunch of new azaleas. The f***ers came along and ripped them out! Good for you for retrieving them. (Then I made myself laugh to think you'd give them a proper burial after they'd died!)Joy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16872212751941027675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-41509802721724814782009-02-24T06:18:00.000-08:002009-02-24T06:18:00.000-08:00Phd in Yogurtry, it’s all absolutely true.

Honestly, though, I can’t be sure that the people are still there… We have a lot of renters in our area – some quite long term – but it’s a busy, lively neighborhood and odds are good that they have moved out…<BR/><BR/>Rene, It does sound like an Urban Legend, doesn’t it? <BR/><BR/>SweetPea, I prefer to think that yes, they did it in the dead of night, sneaky little bestids lurking in the shadows…<BR/><BR/>Braja, excellent!<BR/><BR/>underOVR, that was, the more I think about it (and with blogging every day, I often don’t see the intricacies of things until people point them out, as you just did), the more I remember (this was two years ago now) how hurt I was that not only had they been stolen but then they hadn’t been cared for. I think sometimes we kid ourselves that someone who has taken something but at least be caring for it, but I don’t think that’s true…<BR/><BR/>fingers, my son offered to sit on the garage with a pellet gun. <BR/><BR/>Beth, there was much muttering, some of it even printable! And no, actually. Of the nine plants, only one lived. How sad is that?<BR/><BR/>Ann, I’ve heard of that; and as a person who has lived in both Duluth (MN) and Minneapolis and knows first-hand the work that goes into shoveling a spot for one’s self, I’m just surprised people haven’t come to blows over such a thing…<BR/><BR/>Lacey, sometimes, I just don’t know what comes over me…<BR/><BR/>Michelle, Plant Whisperers.

I didn't notice when the Buddha disappeared, but one of my neighbors told me they saw him coming back home from the house on the corner on a handtruck. Apparently the kids who lived there swiped him, and their folks brought him back.<BR/><BR/>Then I moved back to Ohio and he got stolen again, never to return. All that was left in my garden was a little Buddha butt-print in the mulch.<BR/><BR/>Glad you took your flowers back -- score one for our side!Jeanne Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096521122802823385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-25742612699343379952009-02-23T13:32:00.000-08:002009-02-23T13:32:00.000-08:00OMG!
