Description

Crawling Around On My Hands And Knees Yep that’s where I was today Crawling around on my hands and knees Now I know that sounds a little odd But you have to understand why I was outside the sun was out It was warm and I was weeding And the only way to do that Is on your hands and knees So there I was Pulling weeds this time In the raspberries And they are nasty Just as nasty as the roses But I’m not gonna show you My arms and my hands Not this time I know you’ll all say Wear those gloves Wear long sleeves Protect your sensitive skin But I can’t because then I can’t feel the dirt Or the earth or grab Those damn weeds The gloves get in the way They slow me down They just bug the heck Out of me!! So there I am Crawling around On my hands and knees Pulling those weeds And when I’m done Those raspberries are Fairly shouting with joy We’re free we’re free Then I feed em With that rich dark Wonderful compost And they are ecstatic And I am muddy My hands are a mess My clothes are dirty But I am happy And the raspberries are even happier!!! 2/15/08 I actually wrote this a couple of weeks ago, during that wonderful warm spell we had. Once I get home, towards the end of this week, I'll be back in my garden, doing more of the same, weeding and crawling around!!

Got me laughing a bit here, Marilyn. You do realize that you can purchase the 'Garden Weasel' from the TV commercials. One flick of the wrist and it automatically pulls out the weed. But, then you can't get into the dirt...on your hands and knees...lol Thanks for brightening my very early, morning cup of coffee with your words.

Some times your natural texture is the best way indeed. especially with fixing minute objects like watches, eye glass frames, etc. very nice insight here what you went through! Good day to you Marilyn :-) Hugsssss

I don't know how you got this gift Marilyn, but it sure is powerful, and when you read it a couple of times, most of us can relate to it. We can think it, but you can put it down on paper. Then those that can't relate can still read it. Excellent prose again with a relevant picture. Bravo!!!!! I don't weed anymore and I miss getting dirty.lol.

Fantastic...I love the way you capture so much...a lot of what you say is so straightforward and open, but there seem to be whole layers of subtext as well, impressions and observations that work so beautifully between the lines of what you write. Superb work!

Our Marilyn, feeling and smelling the heady essence of flora and soil, once again at one with nature. Terrific gauze-like effect displayed in that wonderful macro, young lady! And, I'm glad you washed your hands before using the camera. You wouldn't want to get dirt and weeds into the intricate mechanisms.
