>I Should Have Known Better

>

Got up early this morning. Cold temps prevail this week in the Birmingham metro area, so I thought to myself, “while the coffee is brewing, I will go out and spray my roses with Lime Sulphur.” Having already showered and dressed in a suit for a busy day at the bank, I proceeded out to the garage
to grab my sprayer which was already full of spray. I got outside and pushed the handle. Nothing. I pumped the sprayer and tried again. Nothing… I then began to twist the spray nozzle and press the lever. BIG MISTAKE. The spray nozzle came loose and back sprayed my arm, chest and
suit pants with the glorious fragrance of “eau de lime sulphur”.

Needless to say, the day has gone downhill since. Had to re-shower, re-dress, drink hot coffee in traffic, late to my first meeting, you get the picture.

Note to self:
NEVER spray roses when you are in a hurry.
Clean and check the nozzles on sprayers regularly.
If roses are worth growing, they are worth the time and attention they so richly deserve.

This is my first post via text……. Ahhh, the wonders of technology…….
