Not too proud... to ask nicely

Dear Mother Nature,
I love you. I really do. I love your rain and thunder storms (can do with out the tornados, though, thank you). But I kinda sorta wanted to work on my garden space this weekend, and I needed to mow and weedeat. But that's okay. I understand you have other things that you need to do than worry about if I get lots of home grown veggies this summer. I still love you, and I will really appreciate the rain once I do get the garden going.

You Rock, Mom Nature!

So it turns out that Mom isn't so hard to reason with. She gave me some time to go outside and get some stuff done after all. I didn't move dirt like I wanted to because I don't have insurance and can't afford to risk having a heart attack. That stuff gets heavy when it's wet! Worse than shoveling heavy snow, and I come from up north so I have shoveled a lot of snow. Well, I've SEEN a lot of snow being shoveled, and wow, it looks hard. After shoveling for about 15 minutes, I ended up clearing some brambles instead (I think that's what they're called). Now I'm nice and scratched up, but it needed to be done. I think the bees are mad at me though. There were still flowers on them and the bees were busy as... um... bees. So I made a deal with them: they could keep sucking on the blooms as I worked, as long as they left me alone. Truth be known, they could've said, "no deal" and flown in my general direction and I would've went running away like a little girl. I'm pretty sure that's what happened last year which is why they are so out of control this year. They behaved themselves this time, so I made some good progress, yay me!
