Because of the short growing season that we have here in New England, I like to do a lot of my gardening using planters.  That way I can extend the growing season by bringing some of the garden planters indoors if the weather gets too cold for the plants to survive.  I love the hibiscus shrubs but they are tropical plants and cannot survive our cold winters outdoors, so I have to bring them in when the weather starts to cool. 

I love to use window box planters to dress up the outside of my house, I love to fill them with trailing petunias that cascade down over the edge of the decorative planters and almost reach the ground.  I line the outside edges and the corners of our decks with outdoor planters; I think they help to bring a natural feeling into our living space.  Planterixchange.com has a great website with a large assortment of planters that I like to pick from when I am shopping for new planters.

Just before I came on my blog this morning I was reading my emails and after that a page from yahoo popped up that showed a headline about an airline flight diversion involving a soccer team.  Well, of course I had to click on the story and see what was up.   From what I understand an American Airlines flight was on its way to Los Angelas from Boston when one of the passengers just totally flipped out.  He started crying and talking gibberish, then went into the restroom and stripped naked.

The coach of a soccer team that was on the flight went up the the man when he left the restroom and told him to put his clothes back on.  The naked man complied, but upon leaving the restroom he bolted to the emergency exit door and tried to open it!  Now keep in mind the plane was in flight; opening the emergency exit door while the plane is flying is NOT a good thing to do!  The man was then subdued by several members of the soccer team and then flight attendants tied him to one of the airline seats to keep him contained until the plane landed.  The plane was diverted to land in Oklahoma to remove the man, who was taken into custody by the police and taken to a psychiatric facility.

Now that’s one adventure I’m glad I missed!

 An American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to Oklahoma City on Friday after a passenger stripped nude and later tried to open an emergency exit door before being subdued by members of a professional soccer team and others, the FBI said.
