StoneFalls Gardens

Today, my mother and I went garden shopping at StoneFalls Gardens. At 184 Stonefalls, Rd., Henniker, NH, it's this rather large, meandering patch of land. They sell manure, annuals, perenials, specifically tomatoes, trees,  and some rather strong smelling ornamental sage. We bought black velvet petunias, English thyme, Astilbes, sage, a pre-mixed hanging plant, purple petunias, and some feathery looking plant without a tag. Well, Mom covered the 58 dollar bill, I went out and visited the Norwegian Dwarf goats, they have tucked back in an indoor/ out door enclosure. They were adorable, only one of the four wanted human company instead of hoping I had food. The little dark goat, fell asleep with his head in my hand. I didn't notice so when I shifted to leave, his head fell out my hand, and he bunked his little nose on the ground. I felt so bad, that I went searching for some fresh grass to give him.

Patience

It takes seven days for me to retrieve, fill out, and return a job application that's only fifteen minutes from my house. It takes three to five days for me convince my parents to drive five minutes to get rabbit food that I buy with my own money. It has taken five months to get 6 hours driving practice, and 6 months to not finish driver's ed. People keep counseling patience, well at this rate I'll be burying my parents before I take my first steps. How patient am I supposed to be?

Welcome, Ms. Bumble bee

Welcome Ms. Bumble bee,
To my humble garden
That I've weeded, mulched,
And set out sixteen kinds of flowers in,
I've made my muscles scream for you,
So buzz around and mind your own business,
so I can do mine, as a result of yours.
Damn it you stung me,
So go take your last moments
In the garden of someone less appreciative of you.
