Shall I compare thee to a spring’s day?
posted in Frenzied Daddy, Garden |It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood; a beautiful day to be neighbors. It’s the second year since we moved in eleven years ago that I mowed the back yard in March. I found grass, blackberries, and dog poo. Lots and lots of dog poo.
We also planted flowers- some little yellow ones and some pansies and some strawberries. Just a few to make it a little more sunny in the yard. Something about bright yellow-orange flowers appeals to me and makes me feel summery. Like marigolds. I planted marigolds in a little patch when we lived in Fort Richardson and took them to my teacher. I also love sunflowers; their silly size makes me giddy and their yellow glow makes me warm.
Dandelions, however, I’m not too fond of
