Homer Simpson's thoughts on Flowers

























I have never been much of a TV viewer or much of an intellectual (this post will prove that). I was the only person in the world who did not care who shot JR, or possibly the only one who has never seen Oprah or watched a soap, well you get the point. But I do LOVE animations, The Simpsons being one of my favorites along with King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad, see I told you I would prove that I am not an intellectual.............. :). I have taken my grandsons to every Pixar film that has been out, my youngest grandson and I watched Nemo about a 100 times......... :).



Anyway a couple of weeks ago The Simpsons was all about Lisa trying to save the bees, Homer's quote about flowers was as follows "Flowers are just the painted whores of the plant world", I think that quote can be applied to these plants. :)

More Poinsettias and More Snow



These are a couple more of the varieties that I photographed this past weekend.
We are predicated to get up to four more inches of snow tonight. I enjoyed the first measurable snow this past weekend it was the beautiful wet kind, the dogs I and enjoyed a nice walk in the woods.

Poinsettias




This past weekend we went to a local greenhouse that grows all their own poinsettias, there are about 6 greenhouses full of various kinds of poinsettias, they string lights throughout, it is a sight to see.
