Things I Have Learned This Week

*  Some folding chairs are safe to stand on.  Other folding chairs are really prone to folding up unless one is standing in just the right spot.  It would be good to figure out which type one actually has BEFORE attempting to stand on them.

*  Even though the horrible fence company broke our sprinkler line, smashed the blueberry bush & broke apart our compost bin, we were probably the lucky ones.  They concreted over the common area sprinkler heads.

*  The first cucumber from the garden, I willingly shared with Andy.  Now it's every resident for him or herself. 

*  It might be just me, but when someone uses the "If you're not with us, you're against us" line on me, I'm more than happy to just say "Fine, I'm against you then."  Whoever they think the "other side" is, anything is better than being part of a bunch of closed-minded bullies.

*  Daisies are hardy, keep blooming, and seem to require nothing from me.  Hello new favorite flower!

*  A watched tomato does not turn red.  However, a watched spaghetti squash grows like a freakin' maniac.

Daisies may be hardy and your favorite new flower but - if your brother volunteers to mow your yard and doesn't mow over the small daisy patches that have appeared, those same daisy patches WILL take over the yard - just saying.......

Have you ever picked a big bouquet of daisies and taken them into the house? Now, maybe it was just my daisies, but "fresh as a daisy" is a falsehood. I still love them though.

The line, "If you're not with us, you're against us" was used in the Disny movie Beauty and the Beast. If it is good enough for an animated movie, perhaps the person using it should think twice before using it?????
