After looking at a kid with a fork up his nose, I had to look at something pretty. My side garden before Dr. P told me to stop tending. It's now a weedy out of control mess. But my weedy out of control mess is beauty to others. A PG&E (gas and electric) guy walked through the gate and said "Oh my God" I said, I know, it's a mess. He said "No, it's so beautiful.") My former neighbor visited recently and came through the gate and said "Oh my God." I said, I know, it's a mess. He said "No, it's so gorgeous." The weeds had grow so much there was just a wee path through the garden. I started to look at my garden differently. I wanted it all neat and clean, but to so many all messy was beautiful. I'd never considered that. This is just the side yard with the garbage, recycling bins etc.. It was all ugly with just pea gravel, so I planted it and of course the plants responded in kind. Life is beautiful.

I could walk down that path into a whole 'nother place, but it wouldn't have you in it, so I'd rather we walked together!
Cheers, Suz and thank you.
It really is beautiful. thanks for posting it.
Megan,
Good morning sweetie. I made coffee, so lets take a stroll. It's a bit chilly so please put on one of my sweaters. I think Leah's up making oatmeal. Excuse the mess, you'll have to duck because I haven't pruned the roses. We'll navigate the wee path then come back for a harty bowl of Irish gold with brown sugar, butter and a bit of milk.

P.S. Just so you know, Kylie was so offended her "Boy With Fork In Nose" was pushed aside, she put him up on her blog. I'm still laughing. I can't get that kid's poor face out of my brain. I'm confident she'll put up a new post soon.
