."I stood in the garden early one morning and wondered where the sun had gone? Then, it dawned on me."
Someone asked why I spend so much time in the garden. I answered, it's for the peas and quiet.
The plants that no one has to grow are weeds. They thrive on neglect.
"Starting a garden is easy, but picking all the vegetables? That's the harvest part."
A friend perfected his garden plot through trowel and error.
I calculated that I have saved $500 in the last six months on my grocery bill by growing my own food. It only cost me $1000.

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: Residents are being advised to prepare for accumulating snow. This snowstorm brings the threat of inconvenience for up to twelve hours. Residents should prepare by stocking up on essential staples to last as long as 1 day. It may be difficult to order a pizza due to demand and road conditions. Residents should prepare for at least two meals at home and to hear complaints from neighbors about local pizza delivery. This storm also presents the threat of cabin fever and dealing with family members getting under your skin. Older males may feel compelled to walk over to the window every half hour and mention the blizzard of ‘78. Residents should also consider rushing to the hardware store to purchase a new snow shovel, even though your old one is either just fine or buried under all the junk in your garage (despite the fact that most of you never shovel your driveways anyway!). Pets will not want to use the bathroom outdoors and those who are housebreaking puppies adopted for Christmas will regret that decision. Children will be excited to bundle up and play in the snow for about five minutes and their soggy wet clothes and shoes will remain to dry in the same place in the hallway until you trip over them. Those who live in subdivisions will have the opportunity to complain about the timeliness of plowing and argue about which streets should be cleaned first. Nobody else but you will know how to drive in this stuff. The inclement weather will provide an excuse to cancel plans you really wish you hadn’t committed to. Lazy and/or nervous coworkers will pace about and attempt to leave early on Friday. Please stay tuned for more weather reports.
A bad day in Hawaii = Rain
Some people enjoy the weather when it gets down into the 60's . People on the mainland laugh because they think that is still hot.
A bad day in Hawaii = Brown Water
You don't want to know what lurks in there.
A bad day in Hawaii = When you have to commute in the Rain
Nobody knows how to drive in the rain.
A bad day in Hawaii = When you haven't seen the sun in a week
And the solar water heater and solar panels can't get enough sun to do their job
You don't have enough hot water, so you don't want to be the last one to take a bath
Your solar bank will decline. You may even get an electric bill.
A bad day in Hawaii = Rain won't stop die hard surfers. After all they are going to get wet anyway.
Except when there is brown water. Then you need to remember every time you enter
water you become part of the food chain.
A bad day in Hawaii = A great time for the weeds.
Who needs ice to slip on when you have mud!
