"The Crazy Flower Lady's House"


Just poking fun at myself a bit... You've heard people refer to the "crazy cat lady" I'm sure.  I think that I am more destined to become the "crazy flower lady" since I believe that I've found my limit on cats at 3 of them, outdoor kitties - still enough kitties is enough kitties.  I really can't imagine having a flower limit though! 

Here's a little poem that I wrote to go along with it - all in good fun - just teasing myself (and the others who are similarly busy perusing the pages of those beloved catalogs just now).  Enjoy  :)     SOLD 2012

"The Crazy Flower Lady's House"
By Carolyn Caton, January 2012

Along about the 1st of the year,
begins the arrival of something dear

The flowers are all now long gone - even the mums...
When into the mailbox, the treasure comes!

The treasure I speak of is neither silver nor gold,
But to my eye, more glorious to behold.

The new seed catalogs start arriving you see,
Great deals to be had on shrubs, flowers, and trees!

I'm not to this point just yet, it's true 
But maybe in a year or two....

The "crazy flower lady" is who I'll be,
and that really is just fine with me!
