Early Morning Exchange-

Another early morning exchange between me and my sweet, plant challenged hubs. For background, Po was Jon's dad and we had an experience many years ago where he came to our house and chopped my bushes to about 3 inches from the ground. I was in mourning for weeks.

Ok- let's definitely plan to go!

Speaking of trees, did you hack my quince bush yesterday? Honey- for the love. You really need to talk to me before you pull a Po and scalp my beloved bushes.

sounds good....yes I did hack your quince bush....it poked me in the eye two different times while I was blowing the leaves and I went postal....but honestly I didn't know it was a quince bush. i'm sorry

The thought of him chopping my favorite bush to within meer inches of the ground is somehow made better when I think of how funny it would have been to watch him go "postal" after it poked him in the eye. Clearly my bush knew an enemy when it saw one.

Do you have a quince bush?? I adore them! I love to force the long branches inside when I can hardly stand the winter anymore- and the thought of not having any was terrible. Thankfully, there are two other quince bushes in our yard that managed to escape the scalping.

Happy Friday!!
