In keeping with the aphorism that truth is stranger than fiction, and while remaining true to the gardening flavor of this thread, I will share with you something only a constant reader will understand.

Before I begin my short tale, I must tell you that of all my skills, there is one at which I am exceedingly talented—I kill plants. No one is better at this than me. All I have to do is look in a plant’s direction and it turns brown and dies. Trusting a plant to my care is nothing less than a death sentence.

So, on my property, there is a patch of scrub where nothing grows—well, almost nothing. I call it the lot because it’s…well…it’s a lot.

Every couple of weeks I run though the lot with my string trimmer. I have a 4-stroke trimmer that can whip the hardiest weed into coleslaw in a blink of an eye. Did I mention that I am good at killing plants?

For each of the past three years, from among the weeds of the lot, there grows a single rose. When I am trimming, I won’t slow down my work for a flower, so I and am forever mulching the rose right down to the root. But like a B-movie monster that just won’t die, it keeps coming back!

Just this weekend, I think I finally figured out why it won’t die. It won’t die because it’s not just a rose—it’s the manifestation of the Dark Tower in my level of the wheel of ka. Apparently, Second Avenue and 46th Street is not the only hub for the Dark Tower on earth.

I know there are skeptics and unbelievers among you, so here is my evidence. I took this photo of the lot this weekend:

I am certain no constant reader will deny this is a rose.

I am heading out to look for a thinny. If you don’t hear back from me in a week or two, send a search party to mid-world.

Opps I should have mentioned who he is. I found it funny today that most of you have paid for kings kids upbringing and school, and I am paying for his grand kinds education. Lol

Did everyone have a good Memorial Day? I did finish reading Carrie, and I enjoyed it, it filled in the holes that the movie had. And he explained carries mom in the last 10 pages. I was right, she did have a motivation..and she was not just some crazy person. To her her actions made scense.
Didn't her motivation have to do with
her dead husband?

Yes he kind of rapped her and she gave into temptation and she suffered a misscarage, wich she thought was her punishment for having sex, and enjoying it with her then boyfriend. And plus Carrie to,her was the devils child as when ever she got upset she whould make things movie. Etc. So buy her mom sending her to the sinning closet and making her pray she was going to get the Demonds out of Carrie. And when she noticed that that was not going to,work she tried to kill Carrie. Plus I don't think her mom had any sex education. Or something

Where did he rap her? On the head? I went to my friends house when I was 14 and his mother was really Catholic and on every wall was like a Cross with Jesus on it and he said I had to go home because he had to start praying with his mother.

Feeling a little taken advantage of by the folks who currently cut the grass.
I get it cut every two weeks. They're due to cut it this Friday, but are here today....so now, they'll bill me for three cuttings in May, and still cut twice in June. I know it seems petty, but that extra money is hard to come by.
They've been cutting the grass for a couple of years, and I still have to remind them to do all the trim work.....sometimes, they still don't do it all. I mean, the property lines haven't changed.....
It's like they don't care about a job well done, just about getting paid. Maybe I should start deducting $20 every time they leave the trim work incomplete.......Maybe I need new grass cutters.
......or maybe I just need to be happy with what I have. I don't like conflict, and I don't usually complain.....but dang, it just doesn't seem right to me.
