Let's try Wordless Wednesday on Tuesday

  "mmmph!!"

Discarding perfectly good pieces of pottery, flower pots.


This one was snatched by a neighbor who rides an electric wheelchair at high speed all over the apartment complex (and on the roads as well!) I have it's mate (the pot) still with live lavender, while this one was dead. We tossed it behind a tree (the dead lavender). She will give the pot to someone who does flowers. 

The other two were grabbed up by a p.j. wearing new neighbor who has many many plants. She wrote a nice thank you and asked if I were to throw any more away to give them to her. So later yesterday I brought her another batch.

Why? Well, I don't want to sterilize them...and am afraid they might still have the white fly fungus which killed so many plants a few years ago. And I'm cleaning up the balcony for an inspection by the landlords in a few weeks. SOme things are really trash. But I did hang up a couple of wind chimes, since people seem to have them out on their porches these days.

I had a doc appointment to re-check a couple of things. Memory problems are no worse, and I'm trying the Over the Counter, Prevagen, which of course is not through the doc. He's giving me something else for the shaky fingers...but when I drove past the pharmacy leaving his office, there were two police cars and a fire truck in the parking lot with lights blazing. So I went and bought some more flowers...two kalanchoes at the grocery. That's because the local nursery was closed still at 9:30 am, and Monday as well. Even my first choice bakery wasn't open. Small businesses in this town just take Monday off, and often Sunday as well!

Today's quote:

He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet, critic, and philosopher (772-1834)

You've already seen enough of my pottery above.

  2. Hope really is the best medicine - especially when applied through a well informed practitioner!

    1. I just told my Doc yesterday that I recommend him as being an excellent pharmacologist...he knows everything about medicines. I always give his practice a lot of praise on it's surveys they send out right after each visit. He didn't know what that was about, so I told him! His practice is part of a network owned in Raleigh.

  5. Hello,
    It was nice your neighbor could take the discarded pots.

    1. Second try to reply! It's no fun to have blogger eating up my own replies these days. Yes, I am kind of happy to see my pots across the way with her plants in them.

  6. I don't think I'm capable of being wordless.. I imagine those pots were gone in minutes. And that neighbors are now checking whenever you open your door, in case there's more.

    1. That's funny to think of. I threw out real garbage yesterday...hope nobody goes through the bag looking for treasures. What's that saying, one man's trash...

  7. I have posted before about the Monday thing. We more or less have gotten used to that, but we have been surprised on the occasional Tuesday as well by stores or restaurants that do stay open on Sunday.

    1. Our local Japanese restaurant was smart to stay open Monday and close on Tuesdays. If I could only remember that...

  8. Yes, our memories aren't what they used to be!
    I do like your pottery. It is so difficult to purge, isn't it?!

    1. A friend who's had cancer return is having a big yard sale this weekend. I sure do support her efforts to downsize, but I must keep myself away. The local thrift store opened again this last week, so I need to donate a bag or two of clothes I don't wear any more- soon.

  9. It's sometimes a huge jolt to let go of things I've made and lived with for years. But maybe that's a good thing too.

  10. I live in a small town and every single restaurant (I think we have 3 now) is closed on Monday. I wish they would stagger!
