Aw, the baby still warm in the sun - sad!
And here, nearly all of the rare, unusual and edible plants I'd cultivated for over a decade have been either uprooted or cut to the ground. The new owners doubtless never realized that they could have nearly halved their grocery bills (or more) by simply allowing what was already there to grow, you remind me how I hope we don't have to sell our home and entrust my native prairie and woodland to some future owner who won't do battle with the invasives trying to lay claim to the turf and woodlands.
Selling a home is hard enough without screening the new owners for how likely they are to invest time in the yard, tending the flora and fauna. I look forward to your shoulder healing for a selfish reason - to see more of your haikus and journaling!
