Anyone who knows me knows I HATE HATE HATE yard work! Maybe this is because as a child I lived in a corner house with 5 monstrous trees with life size leaves I had to help rake or maybe because as a child I would help my grandpa on his 1+ acre garden picking rows and rows of peas. Whatever the reason is I don't know but I do know I HATE yard work! That is until I got this email from a friend. Maybe I should change my mind and head out side to weed!
This is a picture of an Army soldier in Iraq with his tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent. He is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.
If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.
I think I'm going to pull some weeds today!
