Friends and Kitties!
At our house Scott is the Landscape Guru and I am the Instigator of Low Humor; occasionally these two things converge. Last Friday Scott had a ton of pond rock delivered for top dressing in our entryway. He called me at work when he was done:
Scott: Hey.
Me: HEY!
Scott: So, I'm done with my rock project.
Me: Already? You don't mess around when you play with your rocks.
*guffaw*
Me: So, how big are your rocks?
Scott: My rocks are all different sizes, and they're so heavy I need to use the wheelbarrow to move them!
Me: Don't trip on your rocks!
Scott: I won't. Don't panic Sheeb, but some of my rocks are broken.
*laughter*
And later, when I got home:
Scott: Come admire my rocks.
Feel free to tread upon them.
Me: Your rocks are multicolored!
They look great.
Scott: They're a little dull right now, my rocks look better when they're wet.
*snort*
The project does look nice--since the entryway faces East and doesn't get much sun anything we* put in there gets spindly after a year or two. Scott moved the plumbago out of the archway planters (it didn't take) and put star jasmine in to grow up over the archway, and it's growing like crazy. We'd like a couple of big pottery pieces for accents, but we're still thinking about what--and it'll have to meet with Puffy Cat's approval.

Happy Sunday and have a Fun Week!

* That's a metaphorical "we".
I adore jasmine.
ReplyDeleteDid you think I was going to say Scott's rock's?
*or the "Royal" we - The Shepherd used to say - "We, who? You got a mouse in your pocket?"
ReplyDeleteLovely job on the entry way though.
And I forgot to say - WOW, what a Rat! T.
I can see that laughter at your house is just a stone's throw away.
ReplyDeleteThe peeps used to have an arch like that with jasmine, or so they tell me. We have a rock garden in the courtyard with big rocks like that in them. Somehow TW was getting her rocks off reading this blog cos she found it funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a sense of humour when you're married. ;)

I bet your Mommy has an endless stream of stuff like that, doesn't she? Poor Daddy.
ReplyDelete*chortle*. The entryway looks great!
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something there? (snicker snicker)...

I saw a commercial today. Dad is leaving on a business trip. The kids say "Dad, we made you a video of us. Watch it on the airplane". They touch phones to transfer it. Then the wife leans in the car window and says "I made a video too", and touches phones. Then says "DON'T watch it on the airplane...".
ReplyDeleteI bet THAT boosts sales...

ReplyDelete*snickersnort* you guys are crazy!
ReplyDeleteWe love rocks too. That bower will be gorgeous once filled in. Happy Sunday. Wish us luck with Sandy!
ReplyDeleteScott really knows his rocks!
ReplyDeleteThe entry way looks fantastic. I love star jasmine.
You humans are nutty! One is in love with rocks, the other makes bad rock jokes - geez!
ReplyDeleteVery nice your entrance ! If you want to have the pebbles more clean just water them with chlorid, the result is amazing. I did it at our entrance !
ReplyDeleteGood fun! But really, great use of rocks.
ReplyDeleteSo Scott is allowed to have his rocks buut the mancats are not. There is something unfair about that.
ReplyDeletesnerk.
ReplyDeletelove the entryway!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun making changes!
You are so lucky to have such a great gardener right in the family. M says you can send him over to our house. he he
ReplyDeleteYou should hear the conversation hear when I get boba tea.
ReplyDeleteAnywho my sister used to varnish her rocks so they were always looking wet.
A man and his rocks.... :)
ReplyDeleteBut the entryway is looking great!!
It's a good job you don't get snow in the desert! Frozen rocks are quite slippy!
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd say this about another guy's rocks but those are nice lookin rocks.

Looks great! I'll say nothing more about the rocks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Me too think´s it loks´s GREAT !
ReplyDeleteMe neither add no moore about the rocks *mol*
Your rocks rock.
ReplyDeleteVery inviting entryway.
Star Jasmine has the virtue of growing here in CA. It does tend to strangle and kill any plant that might be growing nearby, though.
ReplyDeleteSheebie you and Scott ROCK!!
ReplyDeleteMOL

Scott has such amazing rocks! They're so versatile!
ReplyDeleteIt's not rock, it's science.
