It's a jungle out there!!

Today, the sun is finally shining and life is good. Late night last night visiting a friend (Becky waves to Katie)and taking in yet another movie. I LURV my unlimited card. Best 11 pounds I ever spent :-)

A news item caught my eye this morning. A senior citizen in the US was forcefully arrested in Utah for having an "unkept lawn". The pensioner, who was confused when approached by police to be cautioned about not watering her lawn, turned to call her son to sort out the issue and the officer hit her with handcuffs and cut her nose. The story says she was arrested and after treatment at hospital was taken to the police station. Thank god we don't have such a law in the UK. My front garden, which admittedly is a little small, is an overgrown jungle! I see it this way. There is a hedge so other people don't have to endure it and the cat loves it out there. He's like a tiger stalking his prey when he gets out there. Also, It's a nice wildlife habitat. After all, I envaded their space. Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it. The fact that the back yard takes all my time to keep nurtured has noting to do with it ;-) On that note, I am starting to benefit from the vegetable growing. So much produce I can hardly get through it before it all rots. It's amazing how much longer shop bought veg lasts which just shows how much preservative chemicals they use to keep them fresh! My radishes shrivelled in days ;-)
