Last Thursday we made a little trip to the flower shop.
We wandered through all the buckets of flowers...
...and...

...talked about how beautiful they all were.
Aren't flowers just the best?

A snail.

We needed that most elegant of flowers:
The snowball.
I think it's some type of hydrangea.
Sadly, the florist didn't have them.

I think you know where I'm going with this...
We slowly pulled up...
Whistling...
And quickly exited the car and clipped some snowballs!
I think the Mountain Dew bottle as watering can is what really gives our dive into the dark side a real touch of class.
Because really, only the most discerning of thieves uses a Mountain Dew bottle to er...
...'requisition'...
flowers.
The evidence:
The Verdict:
"I say you're guilty!"
Many years ago we lived near a patch of woods of unknown ownership. In the spring I would hear the rumble of our wheelbarrow as my wife would head out on foraging expeditions. I averted my gaze as I did not want to be a witness to rampant plantnapping.
