Well, I've killed enough time already this morning. It is time to get out there and weed-eat the garden. Yes, that is what I typed, weed-eat the garden.
We planted green beans in our garden where we always did, but the Bermuda Grass has taken over that garden. I knew it and planted the beans there anyway. It is almost impossible to eradicate Bermuda Grass from anywhere. The roots spread underground and come up any and everywhere. Break off a piece and drop it and by willikers it will take root and grow. I guess if a person were vigilant enough, if they LAID in the garden rows and pulled every single leaf of Bermuda Grass that came up, and did that EVERY day, they might, and I mean MIGHT keep it under control, but the roots would still be there, waiting for that day you miss, and POOOOOOF! it would be growing full blast again.
The only way I know we could get rid of Bermuda Grass is to spray it with a powerful weed/grass killer, and spray many feet around the garden, and keep it sprayed around the garden so it wouldn't creep back into the garden. I don't know if that is even feasible.
In the meantime, I need to go out and weed-eat all the Bermuda Grass out from between the rows of green beans, and leave it in the rows, because I know if I try to pull the Bermuda Grass up from around the beans, the roots are so entangled with the bean's roots that it would pull up the beans.
Okay, more later on how that works!
Stories, ideas, songs I want to save. If you have found THIS and want to read along, WELCOME. If you don't like it, that is fine by me, just move along.
Guitarzan!
Bob told me if I would learn to play a guitar, he would buy me one....buy away, Bob! I can't learn to play it until I have one!
No, I wonder if I can ever do something like learn to play the guitar? Old dogs and new tricks and all that, you know? Also, if I do anything with my hands or fingers for any amount of time my fingers go numb. I am sure it is something to do with the alignment of my vertabrae in my back or neck, maybe. Maybe because I have arthritis? I don't know. I just know I would love to be able to play the guitar or piano, but just don't know if it's possible. I have the piano but can't make myself sit down and practice, and just can't grasp the essentials of it. I'm afraid it would be the same with the guitar and hate for the expense of buying one when I almost know I won't learn to play it.
Alicia plays and she said she would try to show me, and I think I could go to Sparta and maybe take some lessons from Bob Hammons. I think my problem is my number one sin, which is pride. I don't know if I could handle it well if Bob Hammons told me I couldn't learn to play it or forget it.
Why am I so afraid I will fail at doing something, and what is the sinful pride I have? I am surely not prideful about the way I look, or I would have controlled my weight all these many years, and maybe learned to fix my hair to look nice, but I don't care about those things. But to know that somebody might think I can't do something just bugs me. Bob Case was right when he told me a few weeks ago that he knew how to get me to do anything was to tell me I couldn't do it....he is right....I might die trying then.....HAHAHA!
So, if I can build up my nerve and my resolve, I might be the next Chet Atkins.....
