…We love all of them!

Some such as thyme are fragrant and edible. Tell us what kind of garden you
have and we’ll be happy to suggest a few for you. All of them are hardy and
tough, and they really can get walked all over and still bounce back. These
plants roll with the punches the way we’re all trying to these days.

Do you ever feel like the universe is bumping up against you so hard that
all you can do is roll with the punches??

My first thought is “FIGHT CLUB!”
Yes, Fight Club is right behind my house. I can go sit on my back porch and
watch teenagers and adults alike ride their skateboards up, down, back and forth on these tunnel wave kind of things…Yes, I am showing my age here….(Yes, one day I was informed of their real name: Half Pipes.) Think 2 big half pipes and a smaller one with 6-12 people on each one skating up, down, back and forth for 3-4 hours, till 11:00 pm sometimes!!

The delightful thing is that all of those folks know how to fall…they really know how to roll with the punches. It is basic actor training…Go limp….relax when you fall, and try to fall on some cushion…
Sometimes, like a cat, these acrobats even spin in the air, somersault and
BAM!- they’re standing straight up while their skateboards fly off into the back of my fence.

I get to witness this combination of athletic prowess and childlike focus!
I am in awe…This 52 year old is old enough to know:”Don’t’ try this at
home”…
However, I do get to try my own dance with the universe in starting up a
business in the middle of this fearful economy…

OLD CITY green….As strong as a sapling, as athletic as an avid
skateboarder and with lots of experience in falling and getting back up again…..

We’ve got some HARDY native perennials in…they’ll be sure to roll with
the punches,  as I am sure you do!

Come  on by and say hi!!!
