A Week in the life of a Gardener's Spouse
She dug the plot on Monday-
The soil was rich and fine,
She forgot to thaw out dinner-
So we went out to dine...
She planted
roses Tuesday-
She says they are a must,
They really are quite lovely,
But she forgot to dust...
On Wednesday it was daisies-
They opened up with the sun,
All whites and pinks and yellows-
But the laundry wasn't done...
The poppies came on Thursday-
A bright and cheery red,
I guess she really was engrossed-
She never made the bed...
It was violets on Friday-
In colors she adores,
It never bothered her at all-
All the crumbs upon the floors...
I hired a maid on Saturday-
My week is now complete,
My wife can garden all she wants-
The house will still be neat!
It's nearly lunchtime Sunday-
And I cannot find the maid,
Oh no! I don't believe it!
She's out there WITH THE SPADE!!!

"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance,
The wise grows it under his feet."
~ James Oppenheim ~
"What a desolate place would be a world without a
flower! It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not
flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the
flowers of the heaven."
A.J. Balfour
