The Green Grass Grows All Around
Decided to get up, get out, and do something today.
My computer and I needed some space for a little while. We were getting bored with each other and I need a final push of inspiration to finish a project. Thought I might find it in nature.
My mother was made an honorary member of the Future Farmers of America last night at an awards ceremony. I think that’s a hoot and a holler. You might be a redneck if… lol. They gave her a huge fern and some marigolds.
I feel sorry for the two plants. I put down money that they would both be dead within a week…my mother is like the grim reaper of plants, seriously.
I really do like the fern though. I think I might just take care of it myself. I also planted some bulbs I got earlier this year today. I’ve forgotten what they are now, but I know they grow pretty quickly into some type of flower.
Yep, green thumb KaNisa…now I guess I’ll go pick up some limbs and cut the grass…
eta: I’ve always wanted to live in an orchard of some kind. It’s my dream to retire on one. I’d gather housewives (grandmothers) on weekends for little parties to pick (insert product here) and make pies, preserves, and other various things.
BUT THAT TIME IS NOT NOW!
Living on 2.5 acres of a pecan orchard, makes for nice times every other year during the fall. You get all the pecans you can eat and most importantly, you don’t have to cut the grass.
However, during the spring/summer, those trees, although they are pretty, are ASS, ESPECIALLY AFTER A STORM. THERE ARE LIMBS EVERYWHERE! I’VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR TWO HOURS AND HAVE ONLY FINISHED THE FRONT YARD!
MY NECK! MY BACK! MY NECK AND MY BACK! AND MY LEG TOO!!!
