plant rescue

Coffee - worlds greatest cat. 1992 - 2011

David arrived here late Tuesday afternoon with an armful of abandoned plants in need of a new home.  I'm glad he didn't say a good home because that would have been something I couldn't have guaranteed.  We're not sure what they are but they appear to be blue iris's or something similar.
David had already thought about where he was going to relocate them and he just needed a bit of direction from me as to where he could dig and where he couldn't.   After all he didn't want to upset me by digging up a body or two.  And he was right.  The perfect place and about the only place to put them was on the side fence in the area known as the pet cemetery.  As long as you don't move any boulders you can dig where ever you want.  The boulders are the headstones.  I had been saying for years that I must get a bit of white paint and put names to the boulders.
It was getting harder and harder as the years went by to remember exactly who was where.  In order of internment there was Xander  (Modo and Willow put your paws over your ears) the best dog in the world, Teah the cat rescued from under the library, Romeo the duck who was a school experiment that we couldn't bear to part with, Bindi who was adopted as an aged dog from a lost dogs home and finally and the most special was Coffee our adored 18 year old black cat.
Anyway back to the plants.  They are now all planted, cut back to about half their size and watered in.   They are a bulbous type plant so with a bit of luck they should grow.  Maybe I should say with a lot of luck.  After all if my plants were animals the pet cemetery would be full to overflowing.
