Zebra Grass is a Nuisance

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Yes ma’am!  Zebra grass does not belong in small spots.  Zebra grass — in my most humble opinion — belongs far, far away from cottage gardens.  Why did I plant it to start with?  Oh yes.  Because it would get tall and be nice at the back of the border.  Wrong.

Remind me not to plant zebra grass again.  Okay?  It may have taken all of 5 minutes to put in the ground, but after 3-4 years it has taken hours of digging to get it out of the ground.

See that big crater?  I dug that.  See that big blob behind it?  That’s the old zebra grass root ball.  One invasive zebra grass plant down, two to go.

I did have good company while outside.  Very good company.  He was always close by, pouncing on the long blades of dead zebra grass that would occasionally sweep the ground before him.

Fluffy stopped playing from time to time to drink from the goldfish pond.  :)

All this stuff was earlier today, before I went to work.  Here I am back home now.  I sure can tell you, after waiting on the same old customers just wanting boring stuff like bread and cakes, it sure was exciting to come home and find Darth Vader waiting on me.

Happy Saturday,

Lynn

A Sweet Thought

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

My husband has been trying to help a sick friend of late.  Some things my husband can do.  Some things he cannot do.  Last night when I got home from work, my husband and I shared some time talking, as we always do when we are together again at the end of the day. 

He shared some thoughts about doing for others.  I asked him – really just picking on him, “Would you do that for me?”

He pulled me close and said, “I would do anything for you.  I would carry you around if I had to.”

How sweet!  I love him for saying things like that to me.  And for really meaning it.  I would do anything for him, too.

What a sweet thought to carry around today.
