Bootiful!

,

I spend hours tending our garden. And what do you do? Nothing. You just sit there drinking coffee and watching me as I trim the lawn, cut the hedge and sweep the patio.

At least my plants appreciate me. I feed them, trim them, clear weeds out their way, and they thank me by blooming in every colour of the rainbow and more besides!

This morning I planted some campanulas in colourful clogs. I thought they’d like it, they looked really pretty. When I asked you what you thought, you just shrugged, grinned and said, ‘bootiful’. 

I went indoors to wash my hands, I was only gone for a minute or two and when I came back out they’d gone. Walked away, leaving nothing but footprints along the path.

And what did you do? Nothing. You should have seen them go. You may as well have had a bag placed over your head, something I’m very tempted to do sometimes.

Why are you laughing? What did you do? You…you…you…grrrr!

      A last minute addition – it would have been a shame not to use it!
      Thanks so much, Sadje.

    Wow! You wove the profound and whimsy perfectly in both images too. Well done!
