SHARING THE BROWN, BROWN GRASS OF HOME!

Monday, 4/26/10

Think back about three weeks or so….it’s the last of March, you know that “in like a lion and out like a lamb thing”….for some reason, it rarely ever happens that way in Kansas. Where in the world is the person who dubbed Chicago “The Windy City”. They’ve obviously never visited Kansas in the spring, summer, fall or for that matter the winter. You won’t find many people wearing hair pieces here. Now that could be due to a couple of things, the lack of pretentions or the lack of favorable weather conditions, I’ll let you decide.

Anyway, it’s springtime in Kansas, FINALLY!! You know that by the little pieces of green sprouting out from under all that has been “winter brown” for months. Well, that and all the red noses, puffy eyes and a significant rise in Kleenex sales at the local discount stores.

Spring is all about gardening but I don’t participate because I’m not good at it. When it comes to gardening, I’m an embarrassment to Grammy’s everywhere. I’m guilty of putting silk flowers in the pots outside my home….come on, it may be close to cheating but it’s not a crime!! One of very few exceptions to my black thumbs would be ornamental grasses. This is the prairie after all and ornamental grasses should be indigenous….right? Right and they are but there’s just one little hitch, the darn things require trimming!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘em, you just can’t kill the darn things and like I said, if I’m in the garden, that’s important! BUT, if you don’t trim them at just the right time (ideally when it isn’t windy….see paragraph #2) you might wish they would freeze and die over the winter!

As you might guess, my good intentions to trim the grasses when it a; wasn’t windy and b; before the green started sprouting went awry. So here it’s almost the end of April and Daddy-O and I are making a valiant effort to trim the aforementioned grasses during what is possibly the windiest week in recent Kansas history.

What a mess! To my neighbors….so sorry, I’ll try to do better next year! Come join us on the screened in porch, we’ll have a nice glass of wine and ignore the grass as it blows by!!
