OK, it's finally happened. I have myself worried. I can see forgetting to do the backstock on one of my vendor pullups at work, it is an off the clock side job and I really don't care about it, except the extra money. I can see forgetting to turn the dryer on when I put the clothes in, who needs dry clothes to wear right. But to completely forget that I put some brand new, never owned Morning Glory seeds to soak, that is unheard of. It was one I was going to order but found them at WalMart, Burpee seeds, Sunrise Serenade. A double fuschia color. They will be alright, of course, but if I hadn't glanced up on top of the fridge tonight they would have dried up. They are now nice and snug under some seed starting soil, their little root was long so they should should pop up in a couple of days. I can't wait to see them in bloom.

Sharon, I dare not have morning glories. They can come up through the kitchen floor or cover the roof when you are not looking.
I wish you luck with your forget-me seeds this spring.

I think that is what I will have when morning glories start coming up. When I pulled the dead vines seeds flew every direction. They will all grow, of course. I noticed one on the dining room table the other day. It isn't there anymore. So, I expect one of these days a morning glory will start up around the table legs. I do love the flowers though no matter what color they are when they bloom. Forgetful is my middle name some days. Dooley

Sharon I'm shocked!!!! Tut Tut - now you'd NEVER get me doing anything like that!!! 
Shhhhhh don't tell anyone else but Ian went into the 'fridge last week and started to laugh. I hadn't a clue what he found so funny until he told me I'd put the soap in the 'fridge and the packs of butter in the bathroom.

If I cannot find my keys anywhere, they are often in the fridge. I guess that is a favorite spot for us old farts.

Heavens, I put my soaking seeds right in the kitchen windowsill just so I don't do that. Sometimes I put a note right on the sliding doors at brain level.

A senior moment. Is that like loading the washer with soap, water, and dirty clothes and going back an hour later to find you forgot to close the lid - the clothes are well soaked by then. I've NEVER done that.
