Gifts From Papa-Pepper
The Positively Planterific Post Pickup
Today was a meat-grinder of a day. It was always going to be an implement of meat grindage in the life-dealing department, but a sharing and generous Steemian's thoughtful gift put a smile of gratitude-glow on my mug!
I knew that @papa-pepper had mailed me some plants, and I was super excited to get that parcel. Like Christmas morning when you are six excited! So when I saw the yellow parcel card in my Post Office box; I knew that the General of Generosity had struck again!
To say thank you is polite, but it doesn't quite convey just how much gratitude I feel about the awesome gift from Papa and his family, so I am taking a page out of his book as a means of expressing my gratefulness. I'm going to share this great gift with friends and family! @jacobtothe lives close to me, and I already asked him if he would like a hops rhizome. The current paying it forward plan revolves around being a good steward of my plant bounty and gifting future cuttings to those near to and far from me.
@papa-pepper's generosity and community spirit is such a fine example of what is so special about Steemit. I have never been a part of a community as full of so many creative, knowledgeable, hilarious, and overall generous people. With that said, many, many, many, thank you's to you, Papa-P! You be good people!!!
Also, as soon as this frozen waste starts warming up, there will be a post and a parcel of goodwill plants heading your way!
And as always, all of the images in this post were taken on the author's postal tape adhesive covered iPhone.
Enjoy them, and great idea sharing!
Sorry I didn't make it over sooner! I like steemit for reasons like this too. You can get free plants from people you've never met, make a post about it, and then make $1.00.
Where else can you get paid to be given things?
Nowhere!
I pretty much think Steemit is one of the greatest things on the Internet; even greater than cat videos😜 !
The plants are doing great, I got them all transplanted into pots in my greenhouse, going to baby them for awhile before gradually introducing them into my wild North Idaho micro-climate!
Thank you again! As soon as my lavender starts showing signs of growth I hope to start propagating, I'll keep you informed. Hope you and the family had a great Easter weekend!
We had a blessed weekend! Thank you! Glad to hear you're babying them in the greenhouse!
Oh good!
Yep, we are still getting random smatterings of snow, so I am not taking any chances!
