Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for April 16, 2022

So is pulling weeds.

And the fact you planted it in the yard. It will be tedious helping daddy remember not to mow over it.

Planting regular seeds is not going to provide Mimi with the instant gratification she desires. She needs magic beans.

What? I didn’t need a Mimi translator this time around… did she grow up and somebody forgot to tell me… or…

especially at her age when months will seem like an eternity…

I’m not ready for spring yet.

I am shocked she is not wearing gardening gloves with that outfit.

Plant a tree for future generations. Arbor Day was yesterday but there’s still plenty of time.

It’s like the instructions on a packet of Giant Sequoia Redwood seeds: Plant and water well, then wait 500 years and jump back.

Same thing with waiting for commercials to be over to get back to your favorite programs…

Mimi reminds me of an older woman in my old neighborhood. She collected the seeds from her beautiful flower gardens, and during her walks and visits would surreptitiously redistribute them. We had planted apple and pear trees in our yard, and were surprised the next year to see flowers growing around them.

Meemaw can keep the little girl preoccupied till the sprouts appear.

Ah but the results are so worth the wait
