So while setting up my blog, I'm wondering if I really have enough material to really justify this space...and, then I notice this young girl sneaking around my yard. At first, i think nothing of the girl walking through my yard, after all, walking seems to be a neighborhood favorite on pretty days. I ignore her as she passes through my yard a second time and I continue to set up my blog. About ten minutes pass, the girl is back and she keeps squatting down....this prompts me to inspect further. The girl is completely weighed down with a arm load of fresh picked flowers....from my yard! Channeling my inner hateful granny, I go out and tell this child to kindly get off my property. The girl looks a little confused and scared (which, I actually kinda enjoy) as she picks one last bloom and takes off running.
My poor yard is now full of beautiful green stems...I guess there's always next bloom season. Later, mentioning this strange "episode" to my husband who has been devastated all day by the Health Care reform; and he all but curses Obama for our flowerless yard. "Obama, is teaching this young generation that they do not have to work for anything...they can have what others have earned for free! Free flowers for everyone except for those who work!"
A chicken in every pot; a flower in every vase!
This is so rich....just loving your prespective...social commentary with a 'twist' of humor!
