Just when I think I’ve had enough….
I find something else that I absolutely must have in my garden. Just one more improvement, then I’m done, really… Just this one last purchase and everything will be just perfect.
Until the next one, that is.
Behold the latest of my flora-besotten pinings: the climbing rose Zephirine Drouhin and a cedar arbor to let it arch over the front garden walk.
| It does not help to assuage my cravings that in the picture the arbor is set in the middle of my dream garden, though I’m perfectly sure that’s all part of the nefarious plans of the vendors. And I am equally as sure that the garden does not come included with the purchase of the arbor.One would hope that the outrageous cost of the arbor and the equally extravagant magenta of the rose would do at least a little something to ease my cravings; but no. I even find myself plotting little ways to get around the fact that our HOA would almost certainly bar us from erecting the thing in the first place (because,horror of horrors, it would make our house look -gasp- different than all the other townhouses!).
In the mean time, I’m reduced to whining, poking fruitlessly at Josh, and doing obsessive-compulsive crappy little photo-collages with my drawing program. -grin- |
