Thirty Folks on Bikes

I agreed to do the River Friendly lawn tour. The night before I was told three people had signed up. I bakes a dozen blueberry loquat muffins and made two quarts of lemonade. At 10:00 Jimmy O. called and said, " A few more folks are coming." I said, " Five?" He said," Thirty."

It was too late for more muffins. I did have more lemonade. The pulled up, boiled in and listened to my three minute lecture. Then they roamed around the yard, frowning. A few came by and asked me questions," What do you do with the dollar weed?" My answer was live with it. They frowned.

I think it is hard for folks to get away from ego gardening. I love the bumpersticker I saw recently, " If your lawn is green, you're NOT." That says it all.
