This is not an 'Original', Ben. There are lots of us out there.

Yardening

By Nancy Parker Brummett


By this point in the summer, almost everyone is into gardening. Or is what you do really "yardening" instead? There is a difference, you know.

First, the wardrobe differs drastically. Gardeners wear floppy straw hats, sturdy pants with big pockets and clogs. Yardeners don a hat from Disney World, cut-off blue jeans and the tennis shoes they bought the year they graduated high school.

Then there are the tools. Gardeners' have matching handles. Each tool has a special function-and a special spot in the wooden gardener's bench at the end of the day. Yardeners are more likely to be out digging with an old serving spoon from the kitchen.

Gardeners also have a master calendar for all their gardening tasks. Yardeners, on the other hand, lapse into yardening mode quite spontaneously. An artist I know once explained why she missed her deadline: she went out to get the mail, noticed a few weeds growing by the mailbox and naturally stopped to pull them up. Four hours later she was still out in the yard pulling weeds! I understood completely. That's yardening at its best.

If you see people strolling their grounds or setting up tents for a garden party, they are probably gardeners. Yardeners are more likely seen standing in their front yards on Saturday morning drinking coffee, contemplating brown spots and staring down dandelions-the only grounds on their minds being the ones in the bottom of their cup!

I admit. I'm a yardener; I've been known to water weeds for weeks! After all, God created them and they are green. But gardener or yardener, it's time to get busy. Dandelions grow while you sleep.

heh heh... thanks MaKa. Nice chuckle. I've always loved watering sunflowers... you make make them shoot up to 12-14 feet by the end of the season.

Juggling! Oh, I'm so glad I hit "J"... :)

I highly recommend juggling for sport and relaxation.
You can achieve a marvelous trance of multitasking...
walking a rail on a moonlit night juggling baseballs and wiping stinging sweat out of your eyes. life is salty.
