Snow and Shoots

A Monday morning - spring is almost here and Kansas City is about to receive a snowstorm. It seems every year in March (in Missouri) we get one snowfall. Personally, I was hoping for the big one. However, looks like I'll have to settle for a skiff. Oh well.

Shoots are popping up everywhere out of the hard ground representing the floral delight that will be at its peak in May. I have a serious problem though and any suggestions will be taken and considered. Chickens. We have two ugly, sneering chickens who refuse to stay penned like their co-workers. These little brats run rampant every day, which in the winter is fine. But not in the spring, summer, nor fall!! They love to ruin flower beds. And ruining them, they are. I want to shoot the ugly ducklings, but Steve is loudly and obnoxiously representing their side in this court of law(lessness). His biggest argument yet - "Kathy is not in any physical condition to be flower gardening anyway." This from the man who in the next heartbeat could easily be overheard saying, "Kathy should garden a couple hours a day - it would help her stay active."
Men. Or should I simply say "chickens".

Have a happy Monday - and shine where you are planted - and don't let the chickens overpower ya'.
