Green Thumb growing...

Hey ya'll...

NOTE: For those of you who read Sharon, i.e., Ms. Just Write Now!, you will all know that she was going to donate a kidney to her brother Dee on July 17th. Well, I got a call from her, and all went well with the operation. In her words "Dee is kicking high, and I am kicking low..." I am not sure what that means... I think she is having one of her microphone moments. But she says to let you all know that she is doing fine... and that she she's up in Saint Louis, where the power has been out all week due to storms, so she is unable to blog...

But she is doing well, and recovering well, and will be back to blogging real soon :)

Now on to today's post...

A couple of weeks ago, I planted some flowers in the front yard. I was a bit antsy because my flowers looked like they had been on crack, and needed some help, some resuscitation... something...

But two weeks later, with a little of this Oldgirl's love and tender care... Voila...



Before...



After...



And a picture from a view that the neighborhood prostitutes and crackheads get, from the retainer wall in front of my house...




And here's a picture of two basil plants that I bought at the same time that I bought the flowers for the yard. They were half this size when I bought them! Oh how they have grown!!



I had them on the porch, but I brought them in the house... I learned at the last street association meeting that some of the crackheads are stealing plants off the front porches... Interesting (as always).

So needless to say...

I am getting there...

The green thumb is growing... slowly but surely.
