The last 24 hours

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have a splash of Irish from my mom's side. I am always wearing green because I have green eyes (my overwhelmingly Scottish heritage).

Happy St. Patrick's Day. March is an exciting time of the year. It just got more exciting with the HazzardNet Hysteria!

My people are from county Down , Northern Ireland and so we have ppl in our family and friends who are Irish that celebrate it!

You're not Irish Hoss? I thought you from Ireland!...???

I've lived in Ireland for over 20 years, but I'm originally from England.

My ancestors were mostly from Counties Cork and Donegal.

So far I've only had a few brief visits to Co. Cork, but I still haven't made it up to Co. Donegal (it's at least a 4-hour, 200 mile drive which as yet I haven't felt tempted take).

What part of England are you from? Ozzie is from Birmingham I believe. The Birmingham I know about is below me....Birmingham Alabama!

I was born in the south-west, but grew up just outside London, about 100 miles from Birmingham. I don't remember visiting Birmingham for anything other than shows at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).

Y'all be safe tonight with the storms blowing in.

I just went through Donegal today. It's a place along the Pennsylvania Turnpike.  Probably named after your ancestors home.

It's kind of amusing. Whenever dad would talk about our Irish roots, he'd mention County Cork. Turns out that his ancestors living in County Cork were mostly Scottish. 🤣

I find it astounding that I can't give plants away for one reason, people would have to dig them up. New owners are finally taking possession of a house I mowed last year and they are going to redo the landscaping and what I don't take myself will be going into a dumpster. Keep hearing from people yeah I want free plants cool, oh I have to dig them up nevermind. Your going to have to dig a hole anyway if you buy the same plant from a nursery. It's maddening. Some of the plants go for about $30 and garden stores and nursery's.

Sad but true ain’t it? There’s just some people out there in this world that you can’t satisfy. I reckon somehow it’s better that way, just can’t be everyone’s cup of tea 

[RogerDuke]

If everybody was Dukes of Hazzard fans the world would be a lot better off.

I just find it funny they would rather buy a similar plant instead of putting in a few minutes of sweaty work. I'm pretty much done with it. I'd love to save the rose of Sharons but nobody wants them so I guess they go in the dumpster. I've had my fill of dealing with the house and people. Just glad the new owners have a lawnmower and will be mowing it themselves.

and now....the gospel hour ( your post immediately made me think of this!) fragrant flowers,  Rose of Sharon bloom within my heart!..........

[Spike]

I'm beat. A friend and I dug up the plants and split them today. Happy we were able to save so many plants. Rose of Sharons unfortunately no one wanted.
