2009 - My Way
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain. · I’ve pulled all my plants, tilled the garden, added compost to the raised beds · I have a mountain of ripening tomatoes on my kitchen counter Regrets, I’ve had a few; · Planted Black Cherry in a pot that kept tipping over in the wind...took a licking and kept on ticking, though. · My trellis didn’t work and my tomatoes were a big sprawling mess by the end of the year. · My wife thinks I’ve gone mad. Ah, but who really cares about that... Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. · Did I mention, I’ve driven my wife crazy...18 full sized indeterminates in my back yard. · Planning for more next year... don’t tell her... hehehe But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. · Nicolayev Yellow Cherry, what a spitter...a heartfelt sorry to those I traded it to... And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. · I must admit I am hooked. Loved it all from the beginning to the end. · Already planning for next year. For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows – And did it my way! · Hope everyone had a great 2009 and wishing you all a better 2010!!! · Go Twins!!! |
