I truly love my gardening,
It's one of my favorite things
Tomatoes, peppers and onions,
The bounty the good earth brings.

I do my gardening late at night,
Picking them squash and 'maters,
Cuz it's  more rewarding,
(The garden is my neighbors)

Toe,
you have all the ability to be a mushroom farmer.
Very funny write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Could I please please please give you directions to my Dad's??? LOL For anything you steal/take/haul away is something I don't have to chop, can, freeze, cook, or otherwise spend time, effort and sanity on.... Be generous with yourself! *G* In fact, let me know when you'll be there and I'll help you load the truck! *G*

I love this one, sweets... but be careful on those midnight raids! *G* I hear buckshot in the behind isn't a pleasant proposition. LOL

And they think you're just a itty bitty bunny stealing their stuff in the middle of the night! Cute poem sir!

(giggles over Lyra's comment) Yes, or pick up all them tomatoes you threw against his windows and make it up to him by making a Gazpacho out of it all (careful not to make it too warm) LOL! This is cute, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

stealing 'maters is fun
eating them is funner
the neighbor with a shotgun
turns Toe into a runner

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Interloper: Please... no shotguns! LOL That man keeps his running shoes laced on all the time as it is. *G*

If I had your address
I'd send produce in the mail
Then you'd have a restful night
(And not risk your gorgeous tail!)
Peppers and tomatoes,
Onions... taters, too...
Picked fresh and delivered
By UPS to you...
I will be quite generous
For whatever you consume
Is less that I must try to stuff
In a freezer with no room!
Just tell me where to send it
And I'll have you eating right
No need to prowl or run from dogs -
Sleep peacefully tonight! *G*

You know that neighbor
plants more than he can savor.
He plants extra for Toe
and other "varmints" that may show.

Come over to my garden
It is full of true delights
It will help fullfill your hours
In the cold and lonely nights

Ive got beans and watermelon, tomatoes on the vine
What's mine is yours my darling
And what's yours id always mine

So come over to my garden
And fullfill that bandit need
Fill your pockets up with smelly mulch
Cause everything is seed

Nice to see ya
Liz
