This time I lost a plant stand and some hanging basket cages. Weird I know. A glimpse of plant stand is pictured here. Anyway, as you know I've been a planting like I'm Farmer Jane. My hands are all dirty, I've got my new water wand, plants all in a row, but wait... where's my pretty plant stand? It was here just a minute a go.
People it is gone!
Today I gave up looking -- which included walking up and down the two streets that we straddle, searching the yards, and digging through the garage -- and called the cops. I know what you're thinking. But I also know that the cops in my little town have nothing to do anyway. So, I figured, "What the heck!" They. came. to. the. house. I'm not kidding. Cooper was thrilled. To say I was unabashedly thrilled and proud to report this theft would be a lie. I was horrified.
But, it's out there. I am not loosing my mind. It was stolen (the plant stand, not my mind).
PS -- As if showing a sign of solidarity with my missing plant stand my new water wand broke. When I turned on the water the head shot off like a bullet.
PSS -- Rather than flowers I planted tomatoes and peppers in my containers in the back. When I finished Cooper said to me, "Good job mommy, they are so cute." Veggies are cute. But secretly I think he was mocking me because he knows my inner incertitude will make it impossible for those little veggies to grow to maturity.
PHOTO NOTE: The possible future location of some grow boxes, provided the tomatoes and peppers in the containers work. Don't worry, it doesn't actually look like this. This is a before picture -- before it was landscaped -- that I love because it reminds me what procrastination leads to.

Darn! Good Luck! I hope you can track it down. It would make for a great ending to a good story. I want to see what you've done. Will you post after pictures!?!
You and my husband must be going through the same thing. He has lost his keys and cell phone. I hope you find the dumb butt who stole your plant stuff! That makes me mad. I would also take your wand thingy back to Target. If you paid by credit card, you don't need the receipt. Just your credit card. Sorry it's not going as smoothly as it should be.
You called the police - I'm so proud of you. I didn't even call the police when my bike got stolen from in front of my little house. I think the reason why is that I couldn't EXACTLY pinpoint when it was taken. I didn't use it that much and one day I just noticed it wasn't there.
I want to see after pics also...
The funny thing will be when it shows up in the back seat of your car or something...and you are going to feel so stupid....I love this..Welcome to adulthood. I am losing stuff all over the place (mostly things I have read that I wanted to remember!)
I planted a window box this morning...just waiting for it to freeze. The weather has been lousy for so long I don't expect anything better.
The funniest ending to this story would be finding the plant stand in the judge's yard!
You have no excuse for losing stuff. I do it all the time but heck, I'm 100 so what do you expect? I can't even remember what I did yesterday.
Who in the heck would steal a plant stnad? Maybe some one who needed a place for the Maryjane plants...if you know what I mean. It just seems weird to still a plants stand. A car, normal. A plant stand, wierd. Good luck witht he planting!
I think that I need to call the police more often..........thanks for giving me the courage!! Have you ever been on the phone..while LOOKING for IT?
