Stop and smell the roses AKA flowers at Rollag

[Jerry Christiansen]

Jane and I started taking care of some of the flowers at Rollag. Thanks to everyone else that takes care of flowers, too.

Do you know where each of these flower beds are located? Can you find the ones I missed and add them to this thread?

Later,
Jerry

Ok, I will admit. Mostly Jane takes care of the flowers. I can run the Thirst Quencher and give the little rascals a drink.

The last picture of flowers at Rollag that I have. I hope no one misunderstood and thinks that Jane and/or I take credit for all these flowers or take care of all these flowers. We have a few flower beds that we look after. I know who takes care of some of the other beds, but I have no idea who to give credit for some of the flowers.

Some people don't get to see the flowers in bloom because by show time some of them are done.

Later,
Jerry

Nice job Jerry and Jane!

Someone I was riding with commented on the flowers by the Hickson depot. The yellow ones. What are they?

It is indeed a huge job taking care of all of the flowers on the grounds. To add just a couple of more names to the list of "caretakers" I have seen Betty Anderson hauling water around in gallon jugs watering flowers. Also, Gail Gerich does a great job maintaining the Lady Bug Park area. I am sure there are others as well...

Ok, I will admit. Mostly Jane takes care of the flowers. I can run the Thirst Quencher and give the little rascals a drink.

Speaking of the Thirst Quencher... Did you notice the new "meats" on the steer axle of the truck? When I saw it sitting on blocks when I got to the grounds on Friday, I made a phone call to my brother Tim. He called back a few minutes later, and had them all lined up, at the Rollag price!

Special thanks to Jim, John, and Orvis Wahl (R & R Repair) of Hutchinson Minnesota for the donation of the 2 front tires and rims! Tim and I put them on the truck on Saturday.
