A failed intervention, and the bloomin' results!

I should have known better. Why didn't I immediately changed the channel. But I was powerless, rendered immobile, and under the spell of...QVC's Spring Flower Show! 'Cottage Farms' and 'Roberta's Unique Plants '[that no one else has seen]. Once again , they will be sending me new and different surprises, and one repeat performance.

Some folks will watch QVC as they would watch any regular programming. Not me.

Other folks wouldn't give them the time of day. That's not me. [I'd relay that info!!]

My particular MO [method of observing] is to 'stop in' as I happen to channel surf by it. To me, their 'Quality, Value, Convenience' works for me.
Delivered to my door, [I am on a first name basis with my UPS man, Ronnie] I have purchased television sets, a recliner, solar lights, Mrs. Prindables Chocolate covered apples, a picnic table that doubles as a bench, clothing, etc...all while not watching!

I may pause for a couple of minutes of Easy Solutions, Electronics Today, and Quacker Factory...
So when I returned to my house, walked in, and this beautiful 'Pink [cotton candy] Ornamental Grass was being featured...Nic and I exchanged glances and we both knew that I was powerless. She took the dog for a walk, and before the walk was over...those plants were ordered. And then another [a Royal Red Summer Lilac Patio Tree]. And a third one[a Golden Magic Gardenia Deco Kit]. Help! I am seriously in need of an intervention!![ In the plants and flowers department, that is!]

And then a funny thing happened.
As I went to QVC's website to get pictures of my newest additions for this entry, I noticed a whole bunch of customer reviews that completely nixed the idea of actually getting the same results as they stated during the show. It wasn't just a few bad remarks; there were many. And being the not-so-proud owner of the three year old 'barren blueberry plants', I figured that my intervention had occurred! I called customer service and cancelled that cotton candy. Yes I did!

And then, as the show was nearing the end of the 'Spring Preview', they showed the beautiful and grand strawberries that I ordered last year. We watched them grow, and it was so entertaining as well as lots of fun. But...Not a single berry did we get to eat! Before we could pick one and 'hum the ummmm'....they were gone!! Birds? Chipmunks? Squirrels? the UPS man? It's an unsolved mystery, and a cold case at this point. I do, however, believe that the necessary barriers needed to prevent this are within my power. So...I ordered another set. Huh? Yes I did!

And a couple of cedar planters, too.

QVC: Quick...Versatile...Captivating!

Walkin'...yes indeed...I'm walkin"

On Saturday, the physical therapist came to my house to begin my 3X a week therapy schedule. With the help of my walker, I put one foot in front of the other and brought the other foot forward to meet it. We call that, WALKING!!!! Wahoo! Yippee! I stepped my way from the living room to the dining room and back again. Sat down to rest, got up to do it again, and my recovering knee had already had enough!! So we stopped because I don't want to lose any ground. She returns today for the 2nd time and I am hoping for the best!!

Yesterday as I channel surfed by QVC, I happened upon an outdoor/patio presentation. I am now the proud owner of a bench that is easily transformed into a picnic table with attached benches. Perfect for my deck. I can use it as a bench until a situation calls for a picnic table...and Voila!! it's a picnic table!! Pretty clever. No storage required when it's not in use. I also managed to order a couple of shrubs. I cannot help it. They're unique!!
