Flower Thieves




There is a darling house next to mine. When we moved in it still had the original hitching post in front and it has a great built-in buffet between the dining room and the kitchen. Unfortunately, the foundation under the house has completely deteriorated and so no one can live there. For the last couple of weeks, there has been a blanket of white flowers surrounding this cute little home.
On Monday, Haley and I decided to go over and pilfer some of them. While we were there, we noticed a beautiful purple lilac tree and pink rose bush covered in flora. The pilfering continued and pretty soon we had a enough flowers for my ironstone pitcher.

Tuesday morning I woke up to the sound of a lawn mower. I looked out the window and that beautiful carpet of flowers was being MOWED DOWN! So the moral of the story is when you have an opportunity to steal flowers, do it. You may not get another chance.
