Crying out for help

 Today I had my hands filled with towels as I headed for the laundry room.  On the way I kicked over a plant,  what bad timing.  I really did not have the time for the mess.  There was dirt all over the floor and in the rug.  Well I couldn't just leave it, so I dropped the laundry and bend over to take a closer look.  I discovered that the plant was badly in need of water and had outgrown the pot.

Oh! maybe I was tripped by the plant it was crying out for help.

Hi Joan I am still using Picnik untilit goes away.  A couple people have asked I don't know if it is worth doing a tutorial since it will be gone in 4 weeks.

Yes the weekend was good.  I hope you will have a great week.

Jennifer,

Plants will do that - they will let you know when they need attention. :)

Kay I usually take care of my plants, however in the last few weeks I did not have the time.

Laura I always see the otherside :)

Steve it looks that way.  :)

Jennifer,  It is said that things happen for a reason. By you tripping and causing the pot to spill you discovered it needs a bigger home.  Yes, I'd say the pot tripped you to get your attention (LOL)!

There are no accidents.  You were meant to knock it over so you could see what it needed.

Jennifer that is it, the plant tripped you up on purpose.  That has to be the only logical answer :)

Hi Jennifer,

 Pretty little plant and you framed the photos beautifully. I am so sad to be losing Picnik. No one else seems to have frames in their editing features. Have a nice week.
