if you really need it that bad!

saturday was a BIG family outing!

we drove to l.a. to see my s-i-l in a play at her church. we were all so tired that we just crashed when we got home (around 7:30pm)

the next morning as we left for church, we noticed something was missing on our front porch. now let me say that i am not a regular plant killer, but we are having some issues with the type of plants vs. soil that we have in our little planter between the porch and the driveway. we also have a large pot with some ivy and a red dahlia (flower) that are thriving! sunday morning something was missing. the pot was still there, the ivy was still there but the dahlia had been removed! yes, someone who was either concerned with the state of my gardenias or had to get a flower for their girlfriend/boyfriend decided that they needed my pretty flower.

there are worse things they could have stolen!

P.S. I should clarify that the flower wasn't just picked it was removed completely - there is no evidence other than a dent in the soil that there was ever anything else there.

Oh how sad! It wasn't my notorious flower picker children, we are in Utah!

Hey...The McNeil's had a whole pot with plant taken from their porch so just be glad they only took the flower :) That's pretty ridiculous, though!

we planted our honeysuckle on the inside of our fence because we live in a rough neighborhood. wouldn't put it past people around here to rip them out of the ground & take them home (after all, marc's grill was dragged down the block as well...). but your neighborhood is NICE.

i am so sorry for your loss. :(
