Who Got the Stay? Me or the Boxwoods?

Posted on July 1, 2012 by Ginny O'Donnell

Because we are going to the lake for the holiday weekend, we decided to stay home this weekend. And teach the boxwoods a lesson. They are out of control. It looks like crazy old people live here. But I just hate dragging around the big ol’ orange extension cord and the electric trimmer thingy. And Bill pretends he doesn’t know how to trim boxwoods. Riiiiight.

Oh look! Storm clouds! Yes! Drive me inside, where I will fix a bloody mary to read a book and listen to the rain!

Dang. The storm missed us. Boxwoods, prepare to…

But wait! What is going on next door? A wedding party! It turns out that our (new) lovely young neighbors had their American-style wedding yesterday, and their traditional Korean wedding was this morning. The after-party is in their back yard! Woo hoo!

Brrriiiiinnnggggg. Hello, this is the Governor. May I please speak with your boxwoods?

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

    It would have been rude of you to trim boxwoods while such a lovely wedding party was going on next door.
