We had nothing to do with them but now, apparently, they're ours.
One of our neighbors (whom I'll call “Barry” because that's, you know, his name) has rose bushes in front of his house. Specifically, these rose bushes--
Whenever they're blooming and Loraine and I walk past we have to stop & sniff, and I do have to admit their smell is heavenly. Well, apparently we stop and sniff so much that “Barry” now refers to them as “Jim & Loraine's rose bushes”, and because of that he left them standing when he cleared out the rest of his front yard.
Wow.
I know a lot of people see Loraine and me walking everywhere in Marquette, if only because they mention it to us all the time. But apparently people like “Barry” see us doing other things, as well, or at least sees us as we (literally) stop & smell the roses. And because of that to then declare the rose bushes “ours” and leave them up just because we like to sniff them?
That's actually kinda neat. Now we just need, say, our bank to notice that we go into the ATM all the time and have it declared “ours”. That would be perfect.
8-)
So if you happen to see us standing over rose bushes and sniffing them to death in front of a house other than the one in which we live, don't worry. It's okay.
After all, they're OUR rose bushes.
