Last night's Bachelorette continued to tell us why it is the best reality show on TV (at least until Big Brother starts up again next week). It was hometown visit time for Jillian, with all of her potential husbands taking her to their respective cities to meet their families.
The first hour and a half were nondescript with Jillian having 4 lovely visits with the families of Jesse (winemaker), Michael (breakdancer), Reid (boring guy) and Kiptyn (8 pack). The fun evolved when Jake (pilot, kicked off from last week) returned to tattle on Wes' sketchy motives. Was it just me, or was the scene showing Jake crying on the balcony rail reminiscent of Jason's(the most recent Bachelor) crying scene when he sent Molly packing on the second last episode? Jake's confession to Jillian regarding his knowledge of Wes' girlfriend fell on deaf ears and Wes ended up in the Final Four.
Remember when I wrote about Ed leaving the show to go back to work (weak)? Well lo and behold, guess who shows up on Jillian's doorstep right before the rose ceremony. It was Ed asking for another chance - which she gave to him by rewarding his less than spectacular departure with a rose. That left Kiptyn, Jesse, Michael and Reid vying for the final two roses. In the end Reid and of course 8-pack Kiptyn ended up with roses. And then there were four...riveting stuff...
So was it better for Jake to let her know about Wes' sketchy agenda, or should he have left it up to Jillian to figure out? When an injustice is done, we have two choices; to speak up, or say nothing at all. I'm glad he said something to her, yet it has a vibe of sour grapes... Only time will tell...
Spruce news...
Pat, Meryl and I arrived back in Calgary on Sunday night after a lengthy delay in the Dallas airport. It never fails - just when you are exhausted and anxious to get back home, mysteriously, the plane needs an essential part like a wheel or something in order to get up in the air. Anyways, we made it home safe and sound and hit the ground running yesterday. It's amazing the difference a week makes - particularly when that week falls at the end of June and the sun is at the peak of its heat capacity. The plants are looking spectacular with a little bit of rain and a lot of warm sunshine.
Canada Day weekend (although it begins on a Wednesday) will see all annuals go on sale, along with shrubs and selected trees. It is a fabulous time to fill in your beds with colorful annuals, or to add some nice shrubbery along a fence or the foundation of your home. This is also the beginning of the 'staycation' season, which will see many people spending their holiday time prettying up their yards. The Landscaping Division is seeing an influx of people asking for designs in order to implement the perfect plan for their backyard oasis' (oasees??). If you are looking for an excellent spot to pick up everything you need to do this, Spruce is definitely the place (shameless plug)!
Get Gardening, and Happy to Tuesday to all....
