Things are perkin' up around here. It all started with a smokin' deal on a pair of bright red rainboots. They totally motivate the gardener that lives within me. I live in a great neighbourhood for gardening. I am surrounded by enthusiasts. They even offer me advice - both solicited and otherwise. Last summer a certain retired neighbour kept coming over to comment on how well everything was growing. I just beamed and thanked her kindly for her compliments. Then one day she finally got up the nerve and came over and pointed at one of the largest plants in the garden and bluntly said, "I'm pretty sure that one is a weed!"...I obliged her and promptly pulled the offender. She looked like a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders and she practically skipped back across the street to sit on her porch. If only it was always so easy to make your neighbours happy!
