Lesson for the day

all the world is a classroom if you have the eyes to see, the ears to hear


Today,
I am digging day lilies
they've over grown
their bed.

Then there's the mint.
It has gone wild -
running unchecked
through the garden.

The garden
teaches
the gardener:

Not every choice
is a good choice.
And those that are
require work.

Fortunately I have two black thumbs, yes both opposable, wise guy, and I will never have to deal with a garden unless it grows itself...hell I could even kill grass, no not the kind one smokes...ED

Some are tame as rabbits;
Some are wild as horses.

Whichever one you choose,
the work rests upon your hands.
