Mums & Roses

This weekend was LBR's big Mums & Roses sale, one of our biggest fundraisers of the year! The pawesome volunteers of LBR worked tirelessly in the Texas heat to set up a gazillion mums, roses, pumpkins, and other fall plans. (Our cool front arrived last night! It was in the 90s on Saturday during the sale!)


They were lucky enough to get a guest appearance by a super famous blogger.

Always happy to meet my adoring public!

I helped Momma pick out plants -- which you'll see on Nature Friday! -- and I finally got my microchip put in. Momma feels bad because it's taken her so long to get it done, but now I'm all safe! I was extremely brave and didn't even flinch. If Momma says I cried and tried to pull away, she's LYING!!

Anyways, as usual, LBR totally rocked the plant stand!! We raised nearly $20,000, which is going to help big this year after all our legal battles! Huge thanks to all my LBR aunties and uncles who worked so hard at the sale, and especially Uncle Ken and Uncle Waylon of Roses USA who donate all these plants to us!
