Dog On A Root

Never Mind Humanitarian - It’s Not Even Good Business - jim Young “There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.” - Frank Lloyd Wright Donald Trump was very upfront about his plans to deport all undocumented immigrants from the U.S. when he was campaigning for his second term of presidency. He tried to soften the blow by claiming he would concentrate on rounding up undocumented immigrants that had violent criminal records first, such as the rapists and murderers.

That’s what a lawn should look like. Clover is my rebellion against the norm. The clover feeds wild animals like deer and sustains bees. And it’s still soft on my bare feet to satisfy the original purpose of my lawn. Is it pleasing to the eyes? Margaret Wolfe Hungerford would remind us that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”... so, yes! The weeds however, represent my rebellions that went wrong and had a negative or less than satisfactory ending. I leave them there as a reminder. An occasional thistle in my foot reminds me not to step there again. Around my deck and the edges of my lawn are flowers like Daisies, Black Eyed Susans and the flowering CatMint.
