"Peonies are beary tricky to grow... they can have snit fits, but these look beary nice"
"Except... wait... just... a... minute..."
Uh-oh...
"Ack!!! Fake flowers!!"
"And these are dried roses..."
"OK, that's not too bad..."
"... sigh... a fake hydrangea..."
"I asked Gramma why the fake flowers and she says - cause they don't make a mess and they look good all the time, even in dark hallways - OK, well, that makes sense."
"Although, she does have some real plants - like this succulent which is blooming"
"And a ficus tree in a teensy tiny pot - they apparently do well in tiny pots - go figure."
"And a baby palm tree..."
Ooh, this is pretty... two real vines and some fake flowers... looks pretty though."
Even prettier with some bears in the pic!
We then had a peek in her storage room...
It's where the hot water tank is, so it's warm and dry in here... and Gramma is drying out her onions...
They are Kelsey onions and they are massive!!
And drying some beans for seeds.
We even found some honey on Gramma's counter but it's almost empty (ACK!!!)...
"Oh... and she has some fresh geranium cuttings... nice"
"I complimented Gramma on her flowers and asked about the honey situation... she said she had something to show me..."
"Whoa... where are we going?"
"Gramma is moving fast!"
"Into her pantry closet..."
"She says there is a hidden surprise behind this bucket..."
"What!!!"
"This is a massive container of honey!!!"
"Thank you Gramma!!!"
"I'll just put it back there..."
"And report back to Sandy and Ben..."
"I see a midnight pantry raid in our future..."
What? Fake flowers and an empty honey jar? Heresy! But Gramma made up for it in the end...
ReplyDeleteI know!! We were a bit concerned but Gramma pulled a rabbit outta the hat (or a honey jar out of the pantry).
DeleteFake flowers? Well, nobody is perfect. Now if she had jars of that fake honey they give you at KFC that would be scandalous.
ReplyDeleteThey have fake honey at KFC??
DeleteWow! That's a beary large jar of honey! Go Gramma!
ReplyDeleteI know!! Gramma musta known little bears are big honey consumers!
DeleteOMG, these are such GOOOOOOOOOOOD photos!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid Ben, by chance, happen to find, somewhere hidden in Gramma's pantry, a little box labeled "secret recipes"?? He probably would have snapped a couple of quick photos while Sandy kept a look out. hehe
Mmmm... "secret recipes"... we did have a look but apparently Gramma writes in code (scraggly hand-writing)!
