'I'm not driving 250 miles to look at some soil': Gardener shares wildflower seeds with a fellow hobbyist, they demand an in-person follow up when the seeds don't grow

Gardening is a challenging, yet rewarding, hobby that some people were born to do. However, if you're as horticulturally hopeless as I am, you'd know that it's a gift to have a green thumb.

As a kid, when the other kids were being mean, adults always told us to ‘turn the other cheek’ or simply let the mean jabs go by the wayside. As someone with a vengeful spirit and a fiery heart, it's nearly impossible to forgive and forget, even when you know it's the wise, anti-conflict thing to do. If some little kid is gonna push you in the dirt, things are about to get personal. But if someone unknowingly is gracious and forgiving, does it still make them noble? In this story, one woman was…

The boundary between you and your neighbor is sacred. Whether you have a fence, hedges, a wall, or just a plain ol' property line, the duty of every neighbor is to respect and cherish the space in between.
