transplants & roots

it is the rainy season. our biology teacher managed to transplant 4 little evergreens before the rains started. there are little red flags usually associated with gas line markings on campus where more trees will be put if.... rain stops ...time to do it.... etc. i put out some wish flags in my front yard for bushes and a some trees. i do not like looking into my neighbor's front windows ... or they looking in mine. it looks like i will probably have to dig the holes or at least start them and hopefully shame someone to help the old lady... shame on me.... oh .well--old age ought to be good for something. plants around here need to be transplanted during the first few weeks of spring to get a good start... too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. in coloraod you could tranplant things almost any time during the spring, summer, or fall if you knew what you were doing.

it is also easy for people to be transplanted to colorado...any time in your life.. i came in my twenties and lived there during the middle of my life and raised my kids there. it called to my sould before i went there... especailly boulder. i am not there any more but my roots are still there. i didn't realize how much i am still there until i bought a pair of shoes the other day in kearney. they are green plastic sort of like garden shoes.. corcs... no one on campus has a pair. although a boy from connecticut has a pair of clog sort of shoes that he wears all the time. close.... anyway i started wearing them to school... they are so comfy and the seniors who took their senior trip to glenwood springs and denver said....hey all the people in colorado were wearing those. .. as they looked at mine in a 'i'll never be caught dead in those kind of look" i love them.. i may not be in boulder any more but boulder is still in my spirit. :)
