churches & roses & blue rubber gloves


So...
No church until 4:00 today.
A group is using the camp at Wesley Gardens this morning. 
We got bumped until this afternoon.
That's a good thing.
Nice to shake things up a little.
Feel like a fish out of water being home on a Sunday morning!

Why don't you come join us?
We are having dinner together after the service in the big house.
Great time of fellowship!

Okay...a flower saga.
Bubba saw a blurb on the internet,
where else,
that explained how to grow beautiful long stem red roses in your own backyard.
I went back to Whole Foods and bought another dozen roses.
Here they are...


This is where it gets a little sketchy...


You buy twelve ordinary yellow potatoes.
While arranging the roses, cut off as much of the stem as you desire.
Using a drill with a bit,
make a hole in the potato.
Insert one inch of the rose stem into the hole in the potato.
(wear blue rubber gloves) 😯
this last step is optional.


Plant the potatoes with the rose stems inserted into some rich black dirt.


Cover the potatoes completely.
Keep in a partly sunny spot.
Keep moist.
Keep hoping that in about three months
 I will have my own long stem roses growing in my own backyard.

What do you think are the chances this will work?
I'll keep you posted.

🤞
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Will talk to them daily.
Hope the animals don't come and eat the potatoes.
