My husband and I were married for 17 years before we bought our house. I hated renting. I LOATHED renting. The houses were always too small–four kids in a 1500 sq. foot house, arrhhh… give me a valium, stat! I felt terrible guilt for spending a dime on the yard (but I did it anyway). There is always this aura of impermanence wafting over our existence. At least mine. Hubby didn’t really care but hubby’s are wired differently. The worst was when the landlords would make a surprise visit. One time the guy railed on us because we didn’t prune the rhododendrons. It was humiliating.

Four dollars a month on Powerball tickets? I didn’t know they were that cheap. I think I’d better start playing and you’re so right about the amount of money people will fork over for a cup of coffee. (The equivalent of a plant for me.)

I’ve found that the bigger the container, the better chances of having the flowers survive. And less watering. I think you should give yourself a treat and go find a big pot, potting soil and something nice. How about Lantana? They like sun. Little gifts to yourself can sure help when things seem like they’ll never change.

Good luck to you. I’m rooting for you. The next jackpot has your name on it.
