In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “If I Had a Hammer.”
If I had to choose a skill set to keep in my back pocket it would be landscaper/master gardener. Oh, I dabble in the art of gardening at present; I have peppers in a small backyard veggie garden, tomatoes in containers and flowers all over the place. But to have real skills, now that would be awesome!
To be able to look at a space and know what types of plants, trees, and flowers would go well and grow well is an amazing skill. How I would love to take a seemingly barren yard and turn it in to the neighborhood showplace. I have never had much of a knack for decoration or design; I know what I like but it never seems to end up like I pictured it. I imagine Monet and it ends up Picasso-at best. Don’t get me wrong, I love playing in the dirt and coaxing things to grow; however I just don’t feel like I have the appropriate skill set that one needs to design a beautiful space. But who am I kidding? I am not even sure how to decorate inside let alone outside.
So there you go, I not only need to learn landscaping but room-scaping too! How happy I would be with the ability to plant this here, throw that there, and paint this and thus and have it come out looking like Better Home and Gardens. Think of the money I could make on the side too!If 
Stowe It! (or knot) 
Your yard Is absolutely gorgeous!
I wish I could take credit but alas that is only a wish garden; mine does not look anything like that ****big sigh****
Oh, heh, yes, it’s beautiful!
I’m with you babe,I enjoy that stuff also.I’m betting your sign is Taurus like mine-earthy,likes to work with hands,not afraid to get hands dirty.Make your garden pretty!
Nope, not a taurus, a Libra (which is actually a water sign LOL) I just love the dirt, and beauty of being outside!
