• Gardening – It’s Like Watching Water Boil, But More Exciting

  
  — Authority:
  I’m so glad I decided to plant the sunflower seeds the same day as the tomato plants, because for days and days nothing happened.

• My Cat is Part Goat and Cow

  
  — Authority:
  I say that because he loves, loves, loves to eat grass.  Letting him loose to graze, was no problem when we had our own yard.
