To Whoever stole the three roses growing in front of my house on Queen Street on Thursday morning July 31st. Yesterday at least twelve people had stopped by and admired their beauty. Now, there is nothing but a cut stem. Roses are red, you are a jerk, I guess I’ll have to twine some barbed wire around them so next time you get hurt.

you’ve been hit again. soundsl like you’ve ticked off a drunk student. find some dry maple seeds or purchase if necessary. cut the hard part of the seed off. crush or blend finely, to a powder if you can. spinkle on the rest of your flowers….it wont harm the flowers but will certainly cause conversation in the flower haters close circle after a day or so…ps wear gloves while dusting and dust after it rains or you’ve watered. you’re welcome.
WTF?
