untanglingknots.com: Blame it on the weeds.

by Karla ° Thursday, July 7, 2005

I’m usually quite a rational and level headed gal. In fact, besides my impatience, it used to take a lot to ruffle my feathers, and even when they did get ruffled, I’m generally far more rational than irrational. That is, until recently.

I get moody and irritable quite easily these days. Last weekend I was feeling particularly restless and cranky. While sitting outside gazing out at our back yard I noticed how sad my garden was looking. A rational person might do something productive like pick some weeds, plant a new flower or perhaps even water it. Not me. I dug the whole mother fuc*ing thing up. It was quite a sight. Dirt was flying everywhere, my face was covered in sweat and dirt, plants and weeds flying in every direction.

Perhaps I need to find a better outlet to take out my anger on. Although temporarily satisfying, ripping up gardens is hardly a constructive pastime.

Oye…

At least I got to work on my tan a little while terrorizing my poor flower beds.

That's funny. Probably somewhat frustrating, but starting over can be theraputic. Hope the next one is awesome. Nice post.

I've had a perennial garden for a number of years now. I'm glad that I did, but I'm not sorry to leave it. The new place is too small for a garden, and I'm disinclined.

For you Karla a very good place to take out some anger. I would of loved to see your dirty face, but I bet you still looked beautiful. Now for me and the love I have for my gardens not such and good place.

The shrubs along the front of our house are totally overgrown because I don't think they were ever pruned by the former owners. I've had the best time whacking them down with a huge pair of hedge clippers. You need to find a totally overgrown yard and whack away. :)

I would only wish for a garden just so I could tear it up. I tried to plant flowers once, and it seems that the weeds took better to the whole growing thing, so I said forget them. I believe ours became grass, too!

oh...i won't blame you for that as i have a very bad green thumb myself. that's the reason we chose to live in a place WITHOUT a garden or any sort'a indoor plants, in case i murder any of them in two ticks.

luck with venting your anger. hey, maybe you should try some thai boxing classes. you could kick some butts, and get some bulging biceps. :-P

Sounds like something I would have done. I can't stand looking at my garden but yet I don't do anything to make it better....then again, I don't have a green thumb.
