National Water a Flower Day. I’ll be at work, watering a LOT of flowers
Loomis Day. Loomis Day recognizes the man who received the patent for wireless telegraphy in 1872. The Washington, D.C. dentist, Mahlon Loomis, received US patent number 129,971 titled “An Improvement in Telegraphing” on wireless telegraphy in July of 1872 beating Guglielmo Marconi’s United Kingdom patent by nearly 25 years.Born on July 21, 1826, Loomis was also the inventor of artificial teeth and one of the earliest inventors of wireless communication. Loomis died on October 13, 1886.
Things were not as bad at work on Saturday as I feared they would be. I was right about the frost cloth all being tossed in heaping piles and overflowing shopping carts, but the plants had been taken out of the garage area (at least, most of them were) and the plant vendors, both the Bonnie company person (they do the vegetables & herbs) and the Neal Mast person (they do the annuals) got plants put out on the tables. Some annuals re still on the racks because they didn’t all fit on the tables, but at least things were taken care of so I could concentrate on watering and doing some mark downs.
I don’t know if we had frost at our Walmart Friday night (I didn’t at my house 21 miles away), but I only saw slight damage to a few coleus and marigold plants. The wind probably uncovered the plants on that table. Those got marked down.
As for the question about asking another associate for help covering plants – well, maybe Dennis would have helped, but I’ve had such trouble in the past getting willing helpers that I stopped bothering to ask people. They usually say they have to do their own areas and can’t take the time to help. That’s why I started covering the plants more than 3 hours before the store closed. I knew it would take at least 2 hours to cover everything.
“Say goodnight, Oliver. Goodnight, Oliver.” (I’ve heard that joke somewhere, but I can’t recall exactly where.) At least the kitties can sleep during the day, so it’s not a total loss. On another note, saw three robins, two juncos, and two rabbits while out walking today.

We warned Annie not to let Oliver watch THE WALTONS, but did she listen? Noooooo.
