SHOKO…..BLACK
KALI…..ORANGE
Hey dad’s coming for a stroll with us. How nice. 
Nice day not too hot and it doesn’t stink of smoke.
Where are we going? To Gateway Seniors Facility….you mean we can get in and visit with the peeps now? NO! Cwap!! What are we doing then? You want some wild roses? I don’t get it. Oh, I see, we’re going to take some cuttings at Gateway.
Can we get in trouble BORROWING a few cuttings….not if no one sees us? I get it…no one back here mom, Not a soul on my right.
Ok, let’s move it dad…you got the pruning shears? Good. let’s get the cuttings and get outta here.
We’re hiding…got them? Let’s flee.
MOL…we got the cuttings and nobody nabbed us. 
They sure are prickly little buggers.
I’ll keep a look out and make sure nobody followed us.
Mom, um, mom you’re going to want to see this…like quick.
Oh, oh now we’ve done it! 
Cheez it da cops!
It’s also Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s Artsy Caturday. 
Go visit her blog and have a jolly good laugh at your friends. MOL
Here’s our offering this week. 
Mom used Lunapic and Escher Art.
Have a great weekend friends.

Save the bail money for another day…you actually have enough for some treats. I would have spent it by now. Excellent.

AAHH!! Quick! Make a run for it (in the stroller) lol!! I will be interested to hear how Mom gets on with her cuttings, ours are still growing. They were in water for a while then my partner planted them in ordinary compost, keeping them well watered.

We got as small as possible…that’s the best we could do to help.
How long do these cuttings take to root? I’d hate to have them sitting in the house all over winter.

I don’t think we even have that many cop cars in my town. They sure are busted, make sure they have a warrant or you don’t have to let them in- I learned that watching The Sopranos. I LOVE your Mom’s shirt. Great art too. Have a nice day! XO

Yep, they will root this way. You don’t really need pruning shears either. Mom thought they would be hard for her to cut but twas’nt. You want to cut just the new growth and the new stem is very tender. A paring knife would have done the trick. Mom left a little of the old growth on the new cutting so she could cut a bit off when she got home and water would soak into the stem faster. A rooting hormone could also be used but mom wanted to see the new growth.
Loves ya ladies,

HAH! I hope you don’t get pulled in too for aiding and abetting. I can sell you some alibis. Every week TW goes out and, er, borrows the packages of sale circulars and coupons that are left on people’s doorsteps because they’re not allowed to deliver them to our building. She says if she doesn’t take them, the people never bring them in and they litter the walks. Heh heh.
