🍀👍 closest I could get to a green thumb emoji 🤷‍♀️ 

Thanks so much LivinBreezy & have a great week ! 👍🤸‍♂️ 

Wow!!! Mattridegolfrun your cabbage looks amazing.  

Thanks so much BB! Still work in progress tho' . Enjoy your week ! 

Now, if only you could pilot a plane ✈😆 

Wish I were your neighbor! 

LivinBreezy ~ Please check this out! An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears. The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!" He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?" The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!" The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that? Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry." The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important. This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter. Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down  

@Shirfleur ~ You're not too far from me :D 

Great! Just let me know when you have more produce than you can use, and I'll come over with a big bowl of gumbo or some catfish court-bouillon. 

@Shirfleur ~ Haha.. that seems too ambitious of a plan but this is an inspiring note. Thanks my neighbor! 

Thanks so much mattridegolfrun and you enjoy your week also.  

@ Matt ~ Woah! Do you really tell your 'senior friends' that 🤣 and they still talk to you! 😆 Matt, I hear what you were trying to say and appreciate it. My perspective is quite different though. I've never been one to 'rush' my life and I also try not to 'waste' it. I've always preferred to be 'present'. Hope that makes sense to you 😉 

LivinBreezy _ Haha.. No..I just happened to stumble into that funny clip from Redditt or somethin & I thot I share it..I guess it sounds a bit harsh.. apologies. You have a good perspective for life & wishing you a great week !! I'm out to dancing🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️🎶 now and after that I have a boring 'living trust' attorney session..You take care !  

Whew! No apologies necessary, I'm just relieved that wasn't your point of view! If memory serves attorney sessions are usually boring, unless they're not 😆 (no comment, I'm retired 🤣) Thank you, dancing and a little more music sound like a great way to continue on this week 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️ (not sure if I can talk him into cartwheels 🤷‍♀️ 

👍 

We are gearing up to start our plants. Got some dirt already.  

MorticiaAddams ~ Which part of the country If I may ask. My backyard needs a lot of work ...arghhhh
