    Saturday was our local library's plant sale. All the plants were donated by people around the village. There was so much (and it was Hosta city!!!). I was working at the library and was also helping out with the sale.

    While setting up we had a hostile Hosta (that's my believe and I'm sticking to it!). One of the volunteers who's older, she's probably 70/80 but she was moving one of the Hosta's and tripped and fell on a pot she didn't see (she is ok) we helped her up and brushed her off and made sure everything was ok. I went and picked the Hosta up to move it and well... when I bent down... I got a rose of Sharon branch up my nose... it was not fun but I'm good to. Lets just say I was very happy the Hosta plant was one of the first to go. There was soooo much! I can't believe how many people came too, we had to have at least 50/100 people browsing and buying all day.

    I'm sorry, @Shawchert, but when you wrote that you bent over and got a Rose of Sharon branch up your nose, I whooped so loud I scared the dog !!

    It's ok! I laughed to right after it happened, also cried and was a little in shock that it happened, but all in all it was a scenario to laugh at! And your poor puppy! Give him/her a hug for me
