In high school biology I learned that a weed was just a plant growing where people didn't want it to grow. That's a pretty good description of my garden! Join me to find out whether the weeds and rabbits will win this year! (Do you have to ask?)

Important Update on Garden Decorations
Certain parties have insisted that I post a picture of the following item so they can see it. It is an old lampstand (made of cast iron) that I got in grad school. The electrical part broke and couldn't be repaired long ago. So I took off the socket and cord, and painted it a nice, bright yellow. It now holds a small sundial. (Provides the time without reference to the Internet.)
Every garden needs junk like this, after all. But no gnomes, please.

Said party is intrigued by this "without reference to the Internet" thing you speak of. Is this possible? We do not think so.
ReplyDeleteWe are wondering if there are more brightly colored lamps in the garden's future. It could be a theme garden!
But gargoyles are okay?
ReplyDeleteOf course, you know who provides time on the Internet, don't you? (Hint: It is a very powerful government department.)
ReplyDeleteGargoyles are necessary. Do you want to pose for one?
Commerce does NOT provide time on the interwebs. Does it? Because, actually, that would mean that Commerce controls the weather, the population AND the interwebs - i.e. is more powerful than the President.
