When Life Gives You Weeds...

If you squint your eyes and look out at our "backyard" you can pretend that you are seeing a field of luscious grass. But if you unsquint your eyes, you will realize that it is just wall-to-wall weeds. Thousands, no, make that tens of thousands, no, maybe hundreds of thousands of weeds.

Ed and I pull weeds every day for an hour or two. Just when we think we are making progress, we look around and realize that more have grown in that hour or two -- many more than we have pulled. So, just for today, I've decided that if I can't beat them, I'll join them. Or, if life gives me weeds, I'll make bouquets...
