Do it Yourselfers

Yesterday I talked about the crocuses growing up out of my sad dry Shredded Wheat of a lawn but I didn’t get to say what I like best about them: they color outside the lines. One year they just jumped their beds and started sowing purple in amongst the clover. Then the violets heard about it so come June they’ll be doing the same.I say God Bless all the creative improvisers! Like my young cousin who decided one day that she'd just about had it with those stupid braces, and so went and got out a few tools out and took ‘em off herself!
