The flower bandit
Within our midst lurks a mysterious flower bandit. This amazing thief attacks only once a year, at county fair time, and whisks away only the most beautiful flowers from the garden and only the loveliest of hanging baskets.
And what happens to the stolen merchandise? They end up at the Kidder County Historical Flower show! It’s a fact. This year one of the baskets won the prize for Grand Champion Hanging arrangement. The bandit strikes only in daylight hours and only the homes of vacationers. So beware!
I had a chance to visit with the bandit in my office today and she freely admits to moving flowers to the show. And then moving them back home again. In fact, she was very apologetic that she missed my yellow tiger lilies. I assured her they were not the same prize winning flowers as last year which is why I didn’t enter them myself.
One of the things that make small town living so much fun are people who go the extra mile.
So here’s to you flower bandit! Thanks for bringing so much joy to so many people.
Yes I will reveal the identity of the bandit but not unless you respond to this blog!
