Chaotic Gardening

Gardening is a way to bring order out of wilderness in the past...and now, in the organized grid of urbia in its forms, bringing back some growth (but no real wildness.) In planting the garden, I always have grand ideas. Housebreaking isn't one of them.
I went out to spade in the last of the amendments and put in the herbs, and so I grabbed my garden sabots, some very nice rubber slipons. Not first. The shoes are stored outside the back door, upside down so that they don't fill up with water. The left one was fine, and the right one was finer, because a small toad (toed?) had taken up residence in the front of it. The poor toad was surprise when I toed it (accidentally!) and then evicted it...but it does make me realize I've been making my toadhomes too large; they prefer tight quarters, it appears...

Date: 2003-04-21 12:57 pm (UTC)Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree-toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toad power,
The she-toad vetoed him.
