. . . great clips . . .

. . . contrary to the way it looks . . .

. . . this overgrown shrub is not in the yard

of some abandoned home . . .

. . . oh, no ~ it's mine ~~ all mine . . .

. . . but it WAS in need of some TLC . . .

. . . which gave me blisters . . .

. . . also, i think my yard guy lied to me . . .

. . . he told me to keep watering

my potted geraniums . . .

. . . even though they look like ____ . . .

{death}

. . . he says that deep inside, they're alive . . .

. . . and when it cools off . . .

. . . i should prune them {a lot} . . .

. . . and they'll come back stronger than ever . . .

. . . still, except for MAYBE this one . . .

. . . i think he lied . . .

. . . and if i lived outside, i'd die, too . . .
