This cartoon reminds me of what a friend said years ago:
I love this time of year, all the vibrant new growth in my garden! Before the deer and the hail get it.
No doubt about it, nature can be harsh. Is there any wonder we have so many fences up on the land?

There’s many a slip tween the cup and the lip!
Yes, many a slip in the past 40 years!
I know!
just sow some fields of clover and alfalfa!
they can graze to their hearts content… it will help with erosion
and it will look pretty too!
and of course…
I haven’t got a clue of what i’m talking about.
it just SOUNDS like it would be a neat idea. LOLOL.
Andy does sow a lot of clover and orchard grass (drought-tolerant?). The birds love the seeds, but some of it survives if it rains enough. 🙂
and… p.s.
that cartoon made me think of my gram. and why I don’t like cut flowers to this very day.
when I was little and on walks with her and wanted to pick them she said…
“no. leave them be. they have their little life just like you do. if you leave them they will be beautiful for everybody. not just you.”
that has always stayed with me.
What a neat lesson!
cute cartoon….
He did a great job. 🙂
so much fun, nature has the last laugh – and nature keeps on keeping…on
Peter Mayle says he never plants a garden because “it would be fighting nature, and nature always wins. It has more stamina and it never stops for lunch.”
