💐 Puttering 🌷
It’s a rather clement May Hump 🐫 Day, but I’m feeling a bit under 🌦️ the 🌧️ weather. Hope springs eternal, so I’m expecting better days soon…
💐 Spring Leisure 🌷
The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. ~Alfred Austin
Well, for Kelly, that is.
Gardening is not my thing.
Kelly can have it, and she’s good with that.
Gardening is a hobby from which she receives a lot of value.
That works for me because…

💐 Planting Time 🌷
40 Must-Do Garden Tips in May That Will Double Your Harvest This Year
I tried a long time ago.
I turned the soil. Added potting soil and topsoil. Churned it all together.
It turned into a clay brick.
Even so, the squash I had planted grew and sprawled all over the pseudo-patio.
The vines flowered. I knew what to expect after the flowers and had some recipes at the ready.
At this point, a species of bug I had never seen before or since flew in like a biblical plague and devoured my squash.
My friends, this is what the grocery store is for. The model works for me consistently.
Kelly can putter around outside to her heart’s desire.
I’m much happier inside, writing.
💐 Believe In Tomorrow 🌷
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. ~Audrey Hepburn
My garden takes the form of the Sentinels Chronicle, thank you very much.
Given the long arc format, ’til I’m done, this garden will be on the scale of Longwood Gardens in prose.
Will the ravaging bugs show up? After I’ve published, to be sure.
Critics, misdirected readers, BookTubers, BookTokers, Redditors…
I’m sure more than a few will savage the work, but my challenge remains the same.
Want to complain about quality? Show me how it’s done.
Show me your masterpiece and let it shine like a diamond under a beach holiday sun.
Don’t have one? Just a bitter hater who’s afraid to step outside the garden gate?
Too bad, 🧁. Show me up with better work or shut your 🥧hole. I’m not at home to bitter posers.
This time, I’ve got 🐛 spray and y’all can’t have my lovingly tended squash.
I’ve done the work. If you don’t like it, go read something else. 🚮 Hot takes and pointless jabs can go right in here: 🗑️.
That’s all for today. See you back on Saturday for yard 💲🛍️ sales…
