World's Coolest Rosary

You, my faithful readers, know me – I cannot NOT save a plant. So yesterday as I was driving between Church #1 (the Papists) and Church #2 (the Heretics), I spotted a little shrub lying by the side of the road, and so of course after singing with the Lutherans I had to return to the spot. It was a small juniper bush with a naked root ball, and I made a huge mess of both myself and Erin Caitlyn O’Honda while rescuing it. Currently it is taking up a lot of space in Plant World, but I hope to plant it in Richard Bonomo’s yard once the ground thaws enough to dig a hole for it.  (Mad props to Kathbert for finding out the 411 on keeping junipers alive.)

It should come as no surprise that I love the color green (although blue is my very favorite), since I love plants so much. And, as my ever-increasing number of faithful readers know (I may be up to seven of you now), I also have a thing for unusual rosaries lately, so it should be no surprise that I googled the phrase “World’s Coolest Rosary” and then had to order one of these:

Yes, what could be cooler than a Lego Rosary!  All in green just like my plants!  I can't remember the exact website, but you can find it by googling "Lego rosary," and the woman makes them herself and sells them on Etsy.com.  They are $20 plus $2 for shipping.  (Hardingfele, I don't want to hear about how you could have made one of these for me for much cheaper.)  It came with a brochure entitled "The Rosary for Children," which made me laugh.  Guess I'm just a kid at heart!
