Maybe my real garden is just average but the flowers are sneaking inside my door to bloom.

Maybe Speck planted it so he could have a pretty flower to smell while he’s snoozing in the sun, or maybe the little flower just wanted to escape the Texas heat and get a little air conditioning.  Or, maybe it’s time for me to bring one of my lime green weedeaters over there and do a bit of weed trimming!

Whatever the reason, a little lavender flower is always welcome.

This is really the last pair of boots I’m getting for a while.  The cowgirl rain boots are just too pretty to wear into the garden.  Those are for days when it’s raining and I have to go to the grocery store.  It so rarely rains around here that the next time it rains, I’m going somewhere just so I can wear them!  But, I’m not wearing them into the garden.

The new cowgirl boots I bought Wednesday aren’t getting muddy so I can’t wear them into the garden, so I ordered myself a pair of plain every day rubber boots.  I was so hoping they would come yesterday because Vince is off today.  He seriously doesn’t care what I buy within reason but that doesn’t stop him from giving me a hard time and saying things like “How many pairs of boots are you going to buy?”

I figured they were coming yesterday and I figured UPS would bring them.  The UPS guy came . . nope, didn’t bring my boots.  I checked the tracking and it said “Out for Delivery” so I was ready when the mail lady called.  I went down to the gate and met her and got a box of boots and my yarn winder!

When I opened the big plastic envelope that had the boots . . something didn’t look right.

Nothing looked right . . especially “Hawk” and size 12.5.  I thought to myself . . ok  . . maybe they just stuck them in some odd box so I opened the box.

Oh, definitely not my boots!  Looks like Mr. Vince is buying himself some boots too!  I went back and checked the tracking on my boots and it still said “Out for Delivery”  . . by Fed Ex!

Just as we sat down to eat dinner, here comes the Fed Ex truck.  Vince said “I wonder what I ordered!”  I said “Boots! . . With pink horses on them” and hopped up to meet the Fed Ex lady.

Do you think he thought the pink horses were cute?  I don’t now . . because all he said was “How many pairs of boots are you going to buy?”
