Stay of Execution


My courageous geraniums are living proof of "survival of the fittest." These 99 cent specials from Home Depot have flourished all summer and fall. They don't seem to care that winter is approaching. They survived the 30 degree temperature last night in excellent condition. I intended to uproot the plants and give them an appropriate burial, but they received a temporary stay of execution. If our President can pardon a turkey on Thanksgiving, I can pardon geraniums on Christmas. Maybe geraniums will replace poinsettias as the flowers of Christmas.
Boo, poinsettias! Yea, geraniums!
