My husband can not understand the amount I give away and amount of

Hush! My neighbor and I have been hiding plants at each other's houses for a
couple of years now. Her husband has yet to catch on. My dog has, however.
She gives me a dirty look when I come in the house after a nursery run, as
if to say, "well, now, isn't that just fine and dandy. You tell *me* that
you don't have room for a single new plant (and that's why I'm not allowed
to wander through the garden), and then you go off and buy more plants-and
you won't even let me help you plant them."
