Wishes

The saying goes: Be careful what you wish for, because you're going to get it.

So, I wished not to serve on a jury today, we were dismissed in short order.
So, I moaned about wanting to get out in the yard. Well, I forgot to wish for my most favorite planting weather and it's windy and cool. Well, I can't let granted wishes go to waste, so I'm going out. Soon. After I eat lunch.
The lily grew last year, the seventy pound puppy chewed up the pot and and tubers, so there'll be none this year.

Jury Duty #2

Joy, I do need to go to Superior Court in the morning for jury duty.
I was looking forward to planting all those plants I picked up today, since Suzanne inspired me so.
This picture is not taken in my garden, it's on Lake Constance.

Jury Duty

While I was gone I received a notice for jury duty. Mr. Feckless called the court house to let them know that I was away, and the date was changed for next week. While I generally don't mind serving, the timing is inconvenient, as I had promised to go on a field trip with a class at the school where I used to work. Suzanne's youngster is doing schoolwork at home, and I'd planned to get with her a couple of times. Then, while reading the paper thoroughly, I found out that this pending murder case is finally going to be decided.
Maybe I'll wear really bossy clothes, so the defense will think that I'm opinionated and will dismiss me.
Or maybe I'll play the gramma card with tiny flowers on the shirt and take some knitting and the prosecution will think I'm soft on crime.
We shall see.
