Friends are God's way of apologising for relatives... Ok, so I have a tendency to get a bit carried away... but it was a trying week.
So. No more wildflowers. No more shady trees.
Garden has been pruned, poisoned, chopped down.
Now it fits in with the idea of a garden as a commodity,
groomed & clipped & ready for the highest bidder.
Never mind the love & time we'd spent with our plants.
Never mind we're still alive.
Never mind it's our home.
So I'm feeling pretty sad & angry.
Where will the birds and animals play?
Is it wrong to like trees bigger than ourselves?
Is it wrong to like a shady, overgrown but well-tended & well-loved garden?
