A great name. Ms. Strichnine... :)

Hiya Galen, I have a 55 for you this week. :)) The poor gardener, makes ya wonder what really did that got him used for fertilizer. ;)
Have a wonderful weekend.
That's right, it's Friday isn't it?
I'm losing all track of time here, G-Man! A lovely tribute to the winner!
Have a wonderful weekend! :))
Still fertilizing.....as are you. My crime 55 is here.
This is first go at Friday Flash 55... I'm blaming Susan.
So, THAT'S what my garden needs!
Okay Galen ... I just discovered that today's post (10/9) was filed in the wrong month. I have corrected the situation.
So, if there's anyone out there who has stopped by earlier, and would like to take a turn-about and return ... well, it would put a smile on my face (it's been gone for the week) ...
THIS is why i don't garden!!!!!Well done G...Mines up
Pretty twisty today... good one..
Lol.
It's always those nice little ole ladies you got to watch out for...:D Have a great weekend!
As usual, a great 55 with a "kick-ass" ending, as you would probably say yourself.
I'm taking a break for few weeks. I spend way too much time blogging and have ignored by house, paperwork, correspondence, financial matters, my husband and the cat. I have to do some freelance art work and digital photo retouching and take care of a few matters for my 95-yr-old mom ---all time-consuming tasks. So I'll be back flashing 55s in a couple of weeks.
You have a way with words.
Here is mine.

A rose by any other name.......
Good one G-man. :)
Maybe any true gardener should end as fertiizer?
Loved it! I owe you mine - but you'll have to wait *cough* 'cause I'm sick.
Go wash your hands :-)
