The Boiling Beaker

A place to share the swirling, bubbly mess inside my head.

What is it with kids and my garden in the front yard?
I watched a little family of four (two parents and two small children) as they admired my yard, pointing at all the interesting details and colors … smiling, learning. Then mom and dad walked ahead with Kimmy, while little Timmy, who stayed behind unattended, decides to start stomping on a patch of beautiful echeveria.
After tearing a four year-old a new one, I still need to pull the crushed plants and replace them with new ones. Or maybe I ought to replant the perimeter with jumping cholla or some crazy-spiny opuntia…
I’ll fix those rascals.
