Simple Thoughts

  I was weeding this evening, and I want to tell you why.     We have a flower bed in our front yard, and when we first moved into our house, it was empty.   So, we bought a palm tree and flowers, and it looked great. We were so excited because we finally had a pretty flower bed.     A couple years have gone by.   We sometimes weed.   We take care of it every once and a while. For the most part though, we did pretty good and it stayed nice.     But then this summer hit. It’s so hot outside.   I honestly can’t remember the last time the full flower bed was weeded.   I would walk by it multiple times a day, thinking I needed to take care of it.   But the weeds just kept growing bigger. I tried to convince my daughter that this could be a chore and that she could make money.   Even that didn’t convince her.   I tried to tell my family we could make it a family event.   Not happening.   It’s just too hot...
