"Yard Work" are TWO four letter words
When I married the redneck, I was pretty clear about a few things. Most of you know that marriage is about negotiation and boundaries. What's interesting is how things change over time. I told him that I have a black thumb. That particular aspect of my character hasn't changed. I still have the dead flowers to prove it. Not that I haven't tried. I even bought to half wine barrels and transferred some flowers to them in the vain hope that somehow I'd become the gardener my mother always hoped I'd be.
No such luck.
Those flowers are dead, deceased, ceased to exist. And they're a blight in a very cute front yard. But no one told me (and I didn't think to ask) that wine barrels need to have holes drilled in them. Yes, I killed those flowers by drowning.
Someday, I'll be held to account for all the poor plants I've murdered.
For a week now, I've been vainly hoping "someone else" (translation--ANYONE ELSE) will mow my front yard. The grass is now knee length and my lovely neighbors (heavy sarcasm) have been looking askance at me for the mess that is now my yard. *sigh*.
So, today, in a mood of activity, I planned on mowing the damn yard. Despite my allergies. Despite my black thumb.
But it's raining.
Of course it is.
So, I guess my front yard will continue to be overgrown and ugly. It does match the dead boat and the dismantled car in the driveway, though.
We definitely portray the redneck lifestyle....complete with Christmas lights on the front of the house.
I'm thirty-eight people. Some things are NEVER going to change. I'm not going to become "crafty" or grow a green thumb (which would look a little weird anyway)
Judge me or love me, but that's how it is.
Tell me, is there anything you've tried to do (or become) that just hasn't happened? Let me know I'm not alone here, people.
