It’s spring!
Which means gardening time, which means I finally have an excuse to play
with the hose buy more plants dig in the dirt get outside and enjoy the weather. As I’ve been putting a perennial herb garden together,
I’m reminded of a little teaching aphorism, one I wish I learned a long time
ago – before I may have had that incident last year where I turned the main water
faucet on the side of the house the wrong way and the pressure blew the knob
right off the pipe and maybe there was a water geyser that rivaled Yellowstone’s
and after getting soaking wet head to toe I had to go running for my husband
because the force was so great I couldn’t get the knob back on. But I admit to nothing, except now maybe
muttering “lefty loosey” to myself whenever I get near an outside water faucet to turn on the garden hose.
