OK... Today is my birthday, so don't make too much fun of me!

My dear husband took this while i was taking a quick drink (he says it looks like i am peeing standing up). This is my "hospital" garden... really not everything in my yard is this dead. The kiddie pools are filled with lilies that i got a screaming deal on l few weeks ago, and had to get in the ground ASAP it is a temporary home. The Magnolia (one of the two dead trees in the picture) i took home from the dumpster behind Lowes (it had a green leaf and i thought... just maybe it will live). The dead cherry tree (directly behind the Magnolia) came from Home Depot (same deal as the Magnolia), and the small dead Lilac, well i killed that one in a pot on the driveway. I put it in the ground hoping the roots are still alive and it will sucker.

Now just so you don't think that i cart dead stuff home from garbage bins all the time (which i do) some of the things i bring home live, and i move them to nice areas. I have 7 delphiniums that are blooming as i write this that i rescued from a cart of dying plants on their way to the dumpster. They looked awful the first year, great last year and magnificent this. Clearly i have more time than money, LOL. Or as my husband says, i am "a sucker for strays" plants, animals people... I was grumpy he took this, which he thinks is SOOOO funny, I was wearing his shorts and a ripped "save the tortoise" shirt .

I can't believe this is the "face" you all have to go with the name :)
