strolling amongst the rows
in the garden of god
so go I

flowers capture the eye
and the pollinator’s attentions
but
there are meadows of grasses
perhaps not unexpected
the lesser children also have their place
just as diverse with grace as the show ponies may
for a dandelion roars in much the same way

we all have our favorites… I love bamboo, noted, but there has been some cool grasses that have floated in to my yard… and I let it happen, because, they are not “weeds” they are just other plants… why fight the local nature of things? it is crazy to me. I am slowly converting my lawn to non-lawn. Doing the whole lawn grass thing is a waste of resource and money honestly. I would rather see some cool local grasses mixed in with landscape elements like rocks I dug myself… now… I am NOT telling you to do the same, my neighbor loves him some lawn, he practically pets it daily… that is fine, but… for me… I don’t see it anymore, it was a 50s/60s ideal to have the perfect lawn. Now.. I am not an advocate for out of control garbage lawn… do the work, it is rewarding (at least to me)… Some weeds are good because… they aint weeds. Crab Grass can suck my ass… just saying.. but damn it can grow in anything…
