Can you beat these two? Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing They ought to take it on tour. They would make a fortune. A laugh a minute!
I'm in heaven. Start the day with a belly laugh & mid afternoon getting another one. You guys are a riot! Don't worry Dirt, I am partial to those perennials myself.

Happy planting, just don't plant Asa while you're at it. Hilarious! Hilarious!

Status update:

I'm happy to report that my head remains undented (so far), she's outside racing the first frost (and I'd say daylight, too, but that's really a non-factor as we know) getting stuff in the ground, and I'm sniffling through this flu-like stuff that she so kindly shared.

I'm sorry you've got a bug. Too bad you can't go put it in the garden.

It's good to know your head is still undented but you had best watch it Asa & not push your luck. Hilarious! Hilarious!

I learned something here, though. I always read your name as dirtdolphins but from his captions I see it's dirtdorphins!! Mind is blown.

You are not the only one Dave! It's been the running joke around here so long now, he actually calls me a dirty dolphin and 'planted' this container for me last spring Rolling on the floor laughing I don't know how many times poor dirtdolphin has been tagged???

Anyway...I'm getting over it and appreciate the laughs myself--no worries! Thumbs up
