Sweet Potatoes......

   I purchased sweet potatoes plants back in the spring for me and Daddy to plant in his garden. We kept them watered and watched over them. As Thomas and I were driving down our driveway the other afternoon Daddy motioned for us to come over. He wanted to show us how good our sweet tators had done. As we were walking through the garden you could see the tators were peeking through the soil. Daddy reached down and worked a tator out and it was huge. He handed it to Thomas and said, "she'll go two pounds". Sure enough when I went home she weighed two pounds.
   The next day I made two sweet tator casseroles, one for Daddy and one for us. I can't wait till the first frost to dig them up. We'll sure have sweet tators for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
   We sure could use some rain. I've been watering my new trees that I set out this spring. Don't want to lose them. I've got a couple of Pecan trees that I have babied for the last three years. These were the seedlings from the Pecan tree at Tommy's that was over 120 years old. Tommy cut it down about two years before I closed the flower shop. Each year I would have little seedlings pop up everywhere. Two of the four have done great and they are almost three foot tall. The other two have been struggling. But plants are just like people some prosper better than others.
   Today was a good day at work. We received more Vera Bradley and a new line of angels. I designed a casket spray for a family and some other pieces for them. As many of you know casket sprays are my favorite arrangement to design. They are a work of art.
Everyone have a peaceful evening......
