It's probably a little scary.<br /><br />Judy, I finally bit the bullet today and threw out the cyclamen. It just wasn't coming back. And spent the day planting herbs and flowers OUTSIDE with new gardening gloves that make me hate gardening a little less.Jan Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323983086318138814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-70046037719212620122010-05-14T23:36:49.915-04:002010-05-14T23:36:49.915-04:00Oh, Barb, I talk to stuff, too.

The laundry. Oh, yeah.<br /><br />Plants, I just toss. I used to hover and worry and feel like an executioner. And I'd plant them outside, where they would still die, but I wouldn't see them. Now, I just throw 'em. I still feel guilty, like I'm euthanizing them, badly, but I just can't take up the brain space anymore.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55439948158732485592010-05-14T21:56:52.048-04:002010-05-14T21:56:52.048-04:00I definitely feel that way about plants.

My botanist friend said, "I'm not a fan. Get rid of it." (I finally did but with reluctance.) Plants are living things to me!<br />As for the cyclamen they only do well in certain climates at certain times (North Texas is not one of those climates!). Depends on where you are but I doubt water will revive it. And it needs to be outdoors, if the climate is right. They are gorgeous when they're happy.judyalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767466505891813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-72353708666022769192010-05-14T19:49:48.020-04:002010-05-14T19:49:48.020-04:00Does this count?

I name everything--plants, creatures--and my husband has named me vice president in charge of all living things. which pretty much covers everything!<br /><br />As for the plant, throw it out! Easy for me to say--I have a Norfolk pine that started as a gift at my wedding shower eighteen years ago. Now it's probably 7 feet high, but starting to fade. too big to repot, yet gradually losing its branches until now it looks like something from Dr. Seuss. Now how do I say, sorry Mr. 18 year old Norfolk pine, time to saw you down?Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-34844461946986514392010-05-14T11:33:40.880-04:002010-05-14T11:33:40.880-04:00Oh Rebbie,

My favorite heels are too high for comfort, but I love them. They are Barbie-- little bitchy stilettos that are too cute to be human. My rubber flip-flops that I wear everywhere and in all seasons are named Lovey--homey, cozy and kind of granny-in-a-village feel. You get the idea. It helps to keep the lil' muse fed. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-78893990068819809652010-05-14T09:53:37.582-04:002010-05-14T09:53:37.582-04:00So Gram,
