I Had NO CHOICE . . . Fake . . .

Okay, Okay . . . Yes, but I Had NO CHOICE

Okay, Okay . . . Yes, but I Had NO CHOICE. Really, really. I had NO CHOICE.

I enjoy flowers and Mother Nature wasn't cooperating in Erie PA so I created my own spring reality show.

Mary Yonkers

Mother Nature didn't provide any other alternative so I resorted to planting silk flowers in front of the wagon wheel. Ingenuity and resourcefulness to the rescue.

It's not much different than FAKE NEWS you might say. Okay, Okay . . . Yes, but I Had NO CHOICE. Really, really. I had NO CHOICE.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Enjoy

Hello Mary Yonkers, Miss you in the rain, you must be busy with your flowers. We have snow in Denver this morning.

Haha, at least you are honest about them being fake. They look nice though! I think fake flowers are the only ones I would be able to keep alive, haha.

A and Ron and Alexandra Seigel over the years I have enjoyed your weekend trips to farmers' markets and the many fresh fruits, veggies and flowers. Here in Erie we only have farmers' market during summer & early fall.

Thanks, Mark Loewenberg I had to chuckle about 'Florida flowers'. At least Florida has more spring-like weather than Erie, at least recently.
