It’s another installment of Blogging Destinations, a place where culture brats, wordsmiths and friendly folk with all sorts of
talents gather.
The trees and foliage throughout Big Bend National Park shuddered inexplicably, when they heard the news about
Julie coming to town for planting lessons. This was their territory, a place of beauty that would
never succumb to the unending verbiage of some incessant rambling plant talker.
It was bad enough that six months earlier, they’d had to deal with self-proclaimed
Queen of the Plant Talkers,
a woman positively bent on making plants bloom, when clearly there’s no rhyme, reason or season to it.
Blame it on Gladys.
Everyone blames everything on Gladys anyway! She’s that stereotypical neighbor
who never misses a beat. You know? The one who can’t sleep, because she’s too
worried about what the neighbors might be doing when she’s not looking! Or
worse yet, is trying to keep close tabs on them, so she can tell everyone else
what they’re “really” up to!
Big Bend would never be the same if Julie were able to convince park
authorities to let her experiment in their bountiful environment. Just when
they thought it was smooth sailing, after missing the promised threats of April May Maple. She ran out of time and headed up the coast to taunt the
folks in Vancouver, BC, a much more populated space with plenty of specimens to choose
from. Sandra
was certainly glad April May chose to torment the west coast and leave the east
coast alone this year. She definitely had enough to deal with from talking
plants in her neck of the woods!
Meanwhile,
back in crochet land, M. J. is dealing with lots of crochet stitches,
which appear to be multiplying like rabbits. She’s hurriedly spends time joining and linking them, but Ulmus
disappeared in the garden again, and recognizing her yellow-bellied yarn skills has come to no avail. Needless to say, M. J. has already fallen
behind in a few of her other writing tasks. It doesn’t help that she recently
discovered a fabulous group of fellow bloggers over at the Writers’ Post. She
jumped right in and is truly enjoying making friends with all the neat bloggers
there. Hey, why don’t you check this group out for yourself? It’s a might bit
better than risking the plight of becoming a plant talker, if you know what I
mean!
