A couple days ago, I was up in the garden. As I was checking out the pepper plants, I was talking to them. "C'mon, guys! Mama needs some peppers for the freezer!" And at the tomatoes, "Mama wants fresh tomatoes!" And to the beans, "Mama wants beans! Lots and lots of beans! Let's go!"
Only to turn around and see one of our neighbors grinning at me. I hung my head and mumbled, "Sorry". He said that talking (or in my case, pleading) with the plants might help them grow.
Well, this morning, Rick and I were up in the garden and ....we have peppers! Not a lot, but we have peppers! I did a Happy Pepper Dance. We started looking around the squash plants and there's a wee little green zucchini! So, of course, I did a Happy Zucchini Dance.
Only to turn around and see that same neighbor grinning at me. Again. He looked at me and said, "You know, Pam, you are an interesting person!" Which I take to mean that I'm the neighborhood kook. Oh well. I guess it has to be somebody. I swear that man comes out of the woodwork!
