Grass is Always Greener by cdonohoue

Grass is Always Greener

Sometimes this is perceived as a dangerous hobby. I was busy this morning so searching for some inspiration this afternoon. I took my trusty spray bottle filled with water and went out in the back yard. I took some spider shots - no good. Tried the clematis unfurling - too late and the light wasn't right. Went to the Lamb's Ear and actually liked those. Then I decided to try what I had gone out to do. I laid down on the driveway and proceeded to try and mist the grass for a hanging drop shot. Well, first the spray bottle misfired and got me right in the face. OK. Not a big deal. Wiped myself off and adjusted the bottle. I misted and misted and really wasn't getting anywhere when the next thing I knew I the two little girls from next door are standing over me asking if I am alright. Guess they didn't expect to find their grandmother's neighbor flat out on the driveway. So sweet to know that they are watching over me. And sad to know that they think I am so old that I need watching over......
So, guess what shot you are getting.
I need to remember today and don't know a better way to do it than to keep the shot.
I hope you are laughing with me......
Smiles, it's nice to know people still care out there. The perfect shot to post in my oppinion
