Did You Know the Royals Are in the World Series?

My Facebook feed is full of this: 


(from the net) 

In case anyone is unaware of it, this town has gone Royals-crazy... tonight is 
Game Seven against the San Francisco Giants.  

I bought Keith a new shirt at the store this afternoon... and the clerk said 
"Don't you want to wait until tomorrow and buy the championship shirt?" 

She was serious. 

I'll confess something... I can't watch the games, I get too sick to 
my stomach.  Keith watches them in the Man Cave and calls 
upstairs ON HIS PHONE and tells me the scores, then I switch for a 
few minutes at the commercial... watch... and then go back to something else. 
So far, it's worked.  I'm praying it works tonight! 


I did get some work done around here today in my "garden". 
Here are my beautiful planters of impatiens and Caladiums. 

I dug all this out.  I cleaned off the caladium bulbs, and laid them 
in some planting mix in the garage in a planter to try to save them 
over the winter. 


Ooooo I did not get a good picture of the seeds. 

I was pulling heads off right and left. 


And I pulled a LOT more zinnia seed heads off, too. 


Look what I found way down at the bottom! 


There was a surprise in the tomato planter, too. 

Keith can no longer eat tomatoes... because of the potassium. 
This planter will be put to a different use next year. 


Don't worry, my helpers were with me.  Notice how they lay together now. 
If I didn't know any better, I would say Lilly is glad to have a "pack" again. 


This large planter in which the tomato grew now is full of beautiful red tulips, sent to 
me for my birthday in August by my friend Georgie... I can't wait to see them! 


Remember when I trimmed these back in April? 

Well, this will be one of next week's projects!  

Always something. 

Go Royals!
