It seems that 2020 has been a topsy-turvy sort of year and we are not finished with it yet. What else is to come? Any day now, I half expect to see Godzilla come sloshing up out of the Bayou. Trust me...that would be no surprise after what this year has thrown at us. In fact, I was reading a few oddities that have occurred and I am still astounded. Have you heard about the whale in the rain forest? Come now. Does that seem normal? Viruses, hornets...bah! But a whale in the rain forest? Seriously? Yep, seriously. It was all over the news about the dreaded Murder Hornets but I am more concerned about that whale!
Now my oddity is nothing compared to the earth-shaking things the media is trying to shove down our throats but, when you have been confined to the Small Gardens for more than a month, things are exciting. My garden "claim to fame" is...wait for it...a crepe myrtle tree! Yay!!! Oooh! Ahhh! Ok, enough of that. But, indeed, I was totally engrossed by such a tree this morning and spent a good ten minutes weeding around it. You see, I have never seen a baby crepe myrtle tree bloom! Yep, THAT is something that should be news worthy! "Breaking news! Climate changes have started creating miniature versions of trees that are blooming all across the South! We are thinking these trees are harbingers of bad times to come as the trees will spread like wildfire! They will kill off all food supplies and, worse yet, will steal toilet tissue causing massive shortages!" Sound about right? Yeah, well, this is exactly why I do not have a TV in the house.
But I do have four inch tall crepe myrtle trees blooming in the front yard.They are like cute, little wild bonsai trees! Obviously, I neglected to cut back the spent blooms of the large trees last year and the seeds were viable. Tiny crepe myrtle trees are everywhere and all are blooming! They are so adorable!
Well, that is my all important news flash for today. Other than that, all is quiet on the Bayou. We are at peace here. I do, however, have so many questions about that whale. Why? How? What on earth was it thinking to go there?? What was it seeking? Did a bird drop it? If so, I want to see that bird! Which opens another can of worms!
