Are You Done With Those?

Waving hi to our neighbor and noticed that there are 3 large poinsettia plants by his trash bin.   Hmmm?  Is he/ are they tossing them?  Is this a gesture of "finished with but don't want to throw away 'cause somebody may use" sort of thing?  On several outtings today and one of them almost considered exercise (short walk), I see that the flowers still sit there...looking lonely, looking for a place to adorn.  Hubby kind of chuckles at me and the fact that my eyes have sort of become attached to checking this area repeatedly. Hubby knows him/ has served (military) with him and he's a super nice guy.  He's even shown us his place, had coffee with us and offered a number of a cousin named Nacho (priceless...this man can do anything).  I can't wait to get canned lighting put in by him...or a new shower in the...well, anyway.  I kindly ask hubby to see if we can borrow some milk or something from him and also when he leaves, he could casually ask:  Are you done with those?  The poinsettias?  Are you tossing them?  Yes, just a half a cup of nonfat milk will suffice...she's making jalapeno corn muffins...tomorrow. 

Happy New Year!!
