\nI was going to write a post about the foolish way that Lowes is selling flowers at this time of year but that will have to wait for a day or so.<\/p>\n

I cut my left hand index finger with scissors as I was clipping some fancy leaf geraniums for propagation because I forgot to be careful in with scissors in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

This particular plant is Mrs. Henry Cox and it has a very colorful leaf. For one reason or another we are left with a single plant and it is a few years old but has some healthy shoots that I wanted to clip for rooting.
\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a case like this, when we have only one plant, we try to get the best yield without ruining the mother plant.
\nI was cutting into some very hard and old wood and was using quite a bit of force with the Fiskars garden scissors. All at once the scissors snapped shut and my finger was in the way.<\/p>\n

I felt the pressure and held it tight because it was one of those times that you know it\u2019s bad and you would rather not see how bad it was. I managed to keep the end of the finger gripped between my thumb and palm while I finished the last 2 cuttings.<\/p>\n

Naturally my hands were covered with all kinds of dirt and were stained brown and sticky from handling the cuttings.<\/p>\n

I came up to the house and washed my hands with antibacterial soap and dried it up. I let it bleed freely for a minute or so with the thought that this might clean any foreign material from the wound.<\/p>\n

Then some band-aids and tape and it should be fine. The only problem is the cut is near the end of my finger and I need it to type. So I will take it easy and keep the posts brief for the time being.
\nI have had a tetanus shot within the past 10 years so that is not a worry. Tetanus shots are a good idea for people who work in soil and handle sharp tools. Thank God we do not have a giant wind chime order to tie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
