Something can be said for loyalty...


Anyone who knows me well, knows that there is nothing that I appreciate and respect more than loyalty. YES, its true. I relish in it. So where I am going with this? Well, as many of you know, I have had a huge quandry for years, unable to keep any living form of plant life alive for more than a 2 to 3 weeks at time. Yes.. I have even had a catus that decided to give up on me.


But in a strange twist of fate, I have 2 .. yes that's right ONE, TWO poinsettia plants that have decided to stick it out with me. Yes, I do realize these plants are considered to be holiday plants, but they are actually tropical plants from Mexico I believe. Besides all that, hey, they love it here... they clearly have good taste. I affectionately call my dear plants "loyalty" and "faith". I even have them seated in primo direct sun light and water them regularly. I've even started talking to them on a regular basis. In return they show off their bright green leaves and crimson red petals and put a smile on my face as sure fire evidence to all that.... I AM NOT A PLANT KILLER!! All of those other plants were just suicidal.

I won't beleive this post till I see it with my own eyes. Everyone knows Poinsetta's are hard to keep alive year round.
My gut feeling is that picture is actually "loyalty's" school photo and Faith.... who knows where she is.
