Letting nature take its course

A couple of years in the past a clump of day lilies determined to develop in my entrance yard. I don’t know the place they got here from or why they sprang up close to my driveway, however I want they’d picked a greater spot. They’re in the way in which once I mow the grass. Last summer time I made a decision it was time for them to go, so I mowed over them. My try at discouraging their progress made no impression. They saved reappearing, decided to outwit me. It was a battle between nature and a mere mortal on a machine.

This morning once I was selecting up sticks within the yard, I seen the lilies had been at it once more. They’re sprouting like weeds. The grass gained’t be dry sufficient to chop for at the least one other month. My entrance yard is an unsightly mess. It has extra moss than grass. It ought to be plowed below, reseeded and given a recent begin, however that’s extra work than I’m able to doing. A twinge of guilt surged by way of me final yr when the blade of the mower ended the expansion of the lilies. Maybe this yr I’ll allow them to do their factor.

Nature has the wonderful potential to maintain doing what it’s speculated to. When we mortals get whacked, we frequently lose religion and quit. That’s pure. We have emotions and feelings and are simply defeated when our plans are thwarted by others. If we had been extra like flowers, timber and weeds, think about how a lot we might accomplish in our lifetime.

Unless you’re keen on timber, that most likely sounds ridiculous, however some of us perceive. I’m conscious of the need to convey down timber threatening energy traces. Until he retired, sometimes I had a run-in with a fellow from Cloverland Electric. He was decided to butcher timber as quick as 5’. Even the cedar at my property line was fodder till I threw a match.
