8000 Things NOT To Do: How Does Your Garden Grow?

This post is part of a series of posts entitled, “I Don’t Know What To Do, But Here are 8000 Things NOT To Do.” This is what my husband suggested as a title for my blog, so I believe it must be a fitting title for this series of posts. I will add to the series as relevant events occur. And believe me—they will. 

Here is one more thing NOT to do:

Today we planted a garden. 

 

Yes, it’s the end of May—sort of late for planting a garden. But Rosemary’s New Year’s Resolution (you can read about mine here) was to plant a garden, and we’ve been busy with ball and ballet and work and life and stuff, and it’s rained a lot, and sometimes it has been cold outside, and we had “technical issues” with our tiller, and had to find time to make a trip to Lowes, and…well,  anyway, the fledgling plants and seeds are out there in the dirt. 

8000 Things NOT To Do: Do Not Let Your Child Touch a Dead Bat on Mother's Day

I have decided to start a series of posts entitled, “I Don’t Know What To Do, But Here are 8000 Things NOT To Do.” This is what my husband suggested as a title for my blog, so I believe it must be a fitting title for this series of posts. I will add to the series as relevant events occur. And believe me—they will. 

So…(drumroll please)…here is one thing NOT to do:

Do not let your child touch a dead bat on Mother’s Day, which just happens to fall on a Sunday—a weekend day. (And just so you know, if your child decides to pick up a dead bat, you know it’s not going to be on a weekday during a time when offices are open. Right?) In fact, you should probably discourage your child from touching a bat, dead or alive, anyway, even if it’s not Mother’s Day or a Sunday.
