Some say life in the good ole days was a lot easier. Maybe so. At least folks had a well-worn life script to follow.

It took me years to believe that some people are just plain mean. I’m sure I had passed my 50th birthday before this realization occurred, and it didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it took some time, going over family history and life experiences before I realized: some people are just mean. They go out of their way to hurt others… to put down a co-worker…nit-pick someone’s performance, their appearance, financial status, house, car, children, educational level, etc.

A funny thing happened on the way to May... I have what looks to be a million tiny yellow flowers. It happens every year for about 4 to 6 weeks but no one talks about it some even look away. In fact, Lemon Coral sedum was the 2019 Proven Winners Annual of the Year, yet I don’t remember flowers being mentioned. While I am at it, I will add, I have never had one die either. The truth, or caveat to that is that I have lived my whole horticultural life in zones 7b-10. In other words, fairly mild to warm climates.
My first remembered encounter with a nurse was in the office of our family’s pediatrician. It was time for some type of inoculation and I didn’t want to play. Dashing out of the examination room, I eventually reached the waiting room, where I sought refuge under an unoccupied chair. Not a good decision!
