Wild Card/Monday — 5.23.11

While Bayview Herb was counting down to Judgment Day Saturday afternoon, I was busy planting vegies in my garden -- and lost track of time. If the Rapture had occurred, I woulda been doing one of the things I enjoy most -- gardening. I don't know where I caught the gardening bug. I was reared on a 500-acre dairy in northern California, worked the hay fields for my uncle and dad, but never caught the bug from dairying, ranching, mechanics, horses, cows, etc. But I remember planting a small garden outside our house when I was young. I enjoy seeing things grow. I have a wonderful herb garden but don't use herbs all that much. I enjoy their smells and wonderful growth. Now onto today's Wild Card ...
