I would SO not be happy...bad enough when the squirrels think the bird feeder is their personal all-you-can-eat and then take 'shots' of the hummingbird feeder. Grumbling

So I shared with you all that I'd scored a large 4' Sweet Olive before the spring swap http://www.clemson.edu/extensi... at my local Walmart. I have been stalking my store at least 1x weekly since then waiting for them to clearance the rest down. Needless to say they weren't being scooped up quickly as I don't think many folks know about them - not to mention being marginally hardy (read: needs a microclimate type area) here. Sadly I came down with a nasty upper respiratory crud about 2 weeks ago and didn't do my weekly stalking while 'dying' in bed. Went last Friday and.... D'Oh! Grumbling D'Oh! Grumbling they'd clearanced the crapolla out of everything...NOT ONE SINGLE Sweet Olive remaining. Crying Yes, I understand I don't NEED a 2nd one...it's the principle...I wanted another one. The injustice of it all!!! Sighing!
“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...
