We had a Christmas Miracle on December 22, 2019.
Our Camellia bush has a beautiful bloom.
She has bloomed several years; however, only a few blooms and in February.
Presenting Cammie
Isn't she just a perfect bloom?

| If you look closely at the photo on the left, you will see Cammie is loaded with buds. This is the front side. There are buds all over her. The most ever!! |
Thanks LLB Gang for hosting
Angel Madi and I were all about laughing and poking fun at one another. We are about to enter the months where ice, and sleet and nastiness happen. So I thought I'd post this TRUE story for Final Fiction Friday. If I were a betting woman, I'd say Madi was sitting right there and her Sissy's bed watching us as this story came to be.

Flashback 2015
Necessity is the Mother of invention
FYI this TRUE TALE is proof positive.
I promise it is the last post I'll show of snow
BUT trust me it is gonna tickle your funny bone.
Often when the peeps leave I take up my sentry post from the guest bed this
window looks out onto the driveway.
During the last few weeks of February we had sleet, snow,
ice and freezing temperatures all with in a few days of each other. All this made
our driveway and front yard nearly impassable!!!
That is unless you are very clever...and my peeps are.
This picture shows very little white stuff but what you see is
ice and it is solid. Mom and Dad needed to go to buy groceries...
they had to get to Gracie at the bottom of the driveway.
But they can't ice skate so they did the next best thing
they used their noggins to think of a safe way down
Dad had already fallen on the ice earlier.
They used a pitch fork and a golf umbrella as their walking sticks to
walk down through the ice to the grass. Before they left
Mom thought to herself... how will we get the groceries back up to the
porch.
Easy peasy...they took two laundry baskets and two bungee cords
to the car when they left.
When they got back home with the groceries they loaded the
groceries in the baskets and pulled them up the hill with the
bungee cords in one hand and the pitchfork and the golf umbrella in the
other hand
Nobody fell...they got the groceries in the house
The End
Madi was an Olympic Jumper

ReplyDeleteLOL... the photos as evidence seals the case for forward and safety-first thinking!!! Bravo. YAM xx (that shot of Madi's tocks as she dives is just precious...)
What a pretty flower!
ReplyDeleteThe flower is very pretty and warm. Ice is terrible. Mom broke her ankle running 3 years ago. Now she wears Icebugs, has 4 pairs, for running and hiking. No more slipping on ice here.
ReplyDeleteVery clever way to get to the car and get the groceries in. My camellia's are blooming too. They are such beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty flower in the house. Very smart figuring out how to the the groceries into the house. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteOMC what a cool story and adorable photo of Angel Madi!

What a brilliant way to get the groceries up the hill. Brilliant indeed.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was here when Angel Madi was. So precious.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hug. ♥
It must be nice to see flowers blooming this time of year outside. That sure is quite a tale of ingenuity in how to conquer the ice problem.
ReplyDeleteOur Cammies were blooming on Christmas too. Brrrrr, seeing the snow and ice makes my whiskers shiver!
ReplyDeleteGenius is what you are, both of you... I just wish there was a video of you pulling your baskets up the icy slope. I think I would want the pitchfork if I had to do that. a funny story to lighten our day.... hope you don't get iced in again this year
ReplyDeleteWow, Cammie is definitely beeYOUtiful! I hope she has some blooming friends soon.
ReplyDeleteA very clever solution to a very dangerous situation. Your camellia is just GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteWe had a cammie bush exactly like that at our last house but now we have to start all over in our new house,
ReplyDeleteWe remember that icy mountain walk story....MOL! I'm sure Madi was looking out her window and thinkin' 'What the....!'
ReplyDeleteYour Cammie bush is beautiful. Can't believe it is flowering in December.
Cammie is so very beautimous!! We hope she has lots of friends blooming real soon.
ReplyDeleteWe love your FFF story, how ingenious to use the laundry baskets like that!!
That is a funny story, but an inventive solution to a tricky situation. The camellia looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow! We can't believe you have such a pretty flower blooming so late in December!
ReplyDeleteThat was an imaginative solution to the icy driveway problem.
That was a most creative solution. XO
ReplyDeleteYou have a real green thumb
ReplyDeleteOMD, that is one FABulous bloom!!!! Ma's has been threatening to bloom with lots of buds, butts none have opened yet. Ma's brown thumb strikes again!! BOL!!!! (don't tells her I said that, k?)
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
My Mom and Dad plan to get all new potties in the new year for here - TALLER and more efficient ones! As for that icy driveway story - we remember that one and the super good idea of the laundry basket as a "hauling" tool!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
Now that is a great story, we do remember when you had that ice!!
ReplyDeleteyour Christmas miracle is beautiful
hugs
Mabel & Hilda
