Last week, I had an encounter that I immediately identified as being perfect for a one-liner Wednesday post. I made notes and I took a picture to feature with the one-liner.
I’ve done this before, and often something else happens that’s a better one-liner. That happened this time, and it happened twice. Fortunately, the original one-liner circumstance has a nice shelf-life. Unfortunately, the other two do not. So, you get two one-liners today. One is mine, and one is courtesy of a small friend in the back yard.
One of the places we buy plants from announced a buy-one-get-one sale on certain plants. We needed to fill a hole in the yard, so we bought two Butterfly Bushes. They arrived on Monday. We decided to unpack them, set them in the yard and let them acclimate to New England. I pulled one out of the box, set it on the ground and cut the ties on the plastic bag around the pot. As I started gently pulling the bag away, but before I was able to life the pot out, a bee showed up. His one-liner is the caption in the image below.

Regular readers have seen pictures of the pumpkin patch planted by the gray squirrel we’ve named Linus. He has pumpkin plants all over the yard, and two of them now have pumpkins! We have very sandy soil. Despite all the rain we’ve had lately, the yard is dry, so new plants have to be watered. When I was done watering yesterday, I offered the second one-liner to my wife.

This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner, and would like to join in on the fun, you can follow this link to participate and to see the one-liners from the other participants.
Don’t forget, tomorrow is Thursday and that means Thursday Doors. The URL for my post is listed in the sidebar under our beautiful badge. You can link up at any time. My post goes live at one minute after midnight in the eastern timezone. I hope to see your doors.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
