All For Want of Yellow Toner

Only two subscribers wrote to ask for the Garden Tour PDF file last week. (Hmmm... ? Maybe I don't have as many loyal readers of the RoseBouquet as I'd thought!)

But I have a list of some friends who don't have computers or email, who will be thrilled to get these 9 pages of photos in them mail. Unfortunately, Sunday evening when I was busy printing them out - or starting to... the printer suddenly balked. The only reason it gave was that I am out of yellow toner.

I checked in the basement and I still have 2 cyan (blue) and 1 magenta, but no yellow or black toner. So I ordered a complete set of four, but they are not to arrive until Friday. So those letters will have to wait.

My list of other friends I could reach by email was twice as long. But then, because I was so eager to get my plant sale on the way, that has stalled too. I will try to send out a few each day, but because of my busy business and gardening and repotting of plants agendas, that will not get finished until this coming Sunday.

I know it is time for the seasons to change, and I'm actually looking forward to having the garden all cleaned up and to be able to stay indoors and just get more work done on my business projects, with the eCommerce site, and the ebooks I want to polish and write, etc.

But... as Mom used to say, "Van al, Dan al." Which translates to: "If you start something, finish it! And that thoroughly!" Even though Mom went to Heaven, 25 years ago, in 1997, her words still push me on to finish these garden and potted plants projects, before it is too late.

Just don't expect to see me with my feet up all winter. I'll only be switching to indoor projects.

A Little Time for Giggles and Laughs

Okay, I do sometimes take some time for giggles and laughs.

Last night just before I was about to shut down the computer and go to bed, I spied a little image and title for a Youtube video off to the side. I got curious, so I clicked on it.

Wow! There was a very attractive Jamiacan woman talking about 10 Recession-proof business ideas that never fail. It didn't take me long to realize she was making jokes and talking with her tongue in cheek expressions. Her business ideas were not totally stupid; just witty enough to be good jokes. Her name is Odette Rockhead-Kerr. Which may be a made-up name for a laugh.

Sometimes she had visual effects come over the screen blocking out her face, or images of people walking right in front of her sweeping with a wide broom. I could not help giggling and laughing at her dead-pan antics and expressions.

When the video was done, I noticed that the long line of suggested videos along the right side of the page, had many more by this Odette. I dared not binge watch any more, as it was past my bedtime already, but I left that tab open so I can go back when I can spare a few minutes.

It occurred to me that I know a friend or two who would get a great charge or kick out of this woman's videos. if that's you start with this link: Odette Rockhead-Kerr
