Creativity - Day 3 and the out of doors

Saturday was Day 3! My parents were in town helping work on our house. The big project was replacing the kitchen sink, installing a new faucet, and adding a garbage disposal. Since there was not electricity near the sink, the disposal was actually a big project. So we decided to go this route with an alternative, more green disposal:


Thanks, mom! Okay, so the sink and everything did get finished, and I'll post those on the home and garden blog eventually.

I've had a banana tree for a about a month that needs to be planted, so Joe helped dig a hole in the back yard for it. Since we had good grass where the tree was going and an ugly bald spot elsewhere, we decided to transplant the grass. Joe says that gardening should count as being creative, but in case it doesn't, I'll record a conversation between the front yards.


(warning: this isn't actually funny. In the same way that something doesn't have to be good to be art, this is only me trying to be creative in different ways, not necessarily enjoyable by others. It was actually fun to write something and not really care if it's funny or logical... it felt a little like brainstorming. If it helps, you can pretend a second grader is writing this.)

Across the Street: (whispering) Hey, neighbor. Did you see what the other corner had done?
Neighbor: Haha! I can't believe he did it! And does he really think that we won't notice the bald spot in the back now?!? (shouting) Hey, corner!
Corner (our yard): What's happenin' neighbor?
Neighbor: Oh, just enjoying a nice cool day. Anything new (snicker) with you?
Corner: Not really, just trying to soak up the sun and keep up my youthful appearance.
Across the Street: Youthful appearance, huh? Do you make a lot of efforts towards that cause?
Corner: I just try to stay healthy, and the rest comes naturally.
(Neighbor snort-laughs)
Across the Street: Naturally? So you, um, haven't had any work done then?
Corner: Nope, I just let my keepers trim a little off the top occasionally. Maybe rake a little sometimes - like earlier today.
Neighbor: You want us to believe that dark green is your natural color?
Corner: Mostly, though I am going brown in a few spots. Why?
Across the Street: You've had plugs put in, and we can clearly see them - don't try to pass it off as natural.
Corner: What?!? I would never - ... Wait, what is that spot? And that one? I dosed off earlier while getting a nice raking - what did they do to me?!?
Neighbor: You hadn't noticed?
Corner: (sniffling) I had always hoped to go brown with dignity.

Sorry, yard. You'll look better soon. Hopefully.
