I thought this was too cute not to take a photo. Bud and I were out this past week trimming the gardenia bush because it gets soooooooo heavy with blossoms it tends to droop sadly around the flower bed stone foundation and you can’t see anything that’s ‘cutesy’ below and underneath. As we were trimming the bottom of the bush, these two gardenias were peeking between two of our elves. So I snapped a photo before this little branch got cut off. I also like how the morning sunlight filters through the top branches down upon our ‘little men’. Before the trimming, the elves could NOT be seen much…that’s how much and how quickly it gets overgrown around there. That area of the yard is very fragrant with the breezes making whiffs of the sweet, sweet gardenias.
…and the entire Gardenia bush, after the bottom over-growth was trimmed–

Just think…Thursday’s baseball game between “my” Rockies and San Diego Padres lasted 2 and 1/2 games!!! Twenty-two innings?!!!! And the Colorado team was the division champs last year? Oh lordy. I’m sure glad we didn’t live there and we attended the game [dunno exactly if it was a 'home' game or not] —I’d still be in bed recovering.
With no travel day off, Friday they came to Houston and whipped Astros’ butts. [while poor Padres hosted 'my' DBacks and ummmm, the Padres were shut out on Friday! - scoreboard courtesy of MLB dot com]
Also, regarding baseball, if you’ve been listening to the news this past week in sports, you’ll know that the new Yankee Stadium being built was ‘cursed’ by one of the construction workers who was/is a Boston Red Sox fan—he ‘planted’ a Sox Jersey into the foundation of the stadium. Tips were given to the Yankee workers/owners and the jersey, supposedly cursed, was retrieved. The all American Yankees now have it up for auction on ebay…proceeds to this auction will go to charity!!
