Maria's Theory of Gardening

Maria in the garden

Maria's Theory of Gardening is uncomplicated, easily illustrated by the following story.

Last night my niece sent me this photo of her eldest cat Maria. This feisty indoor-outdoor cat enjoys the best of both worlds. Here she is lounging in a newly built garden planter box. My niece had intended to fill the box with enriched garden soil and plant some midsummer seedlings. Alas -- it was not to be with this cutie hijacking the box for a catnap.

As darkness fell and Maria grew a little weary of just lying about, she stood up, stretched, and ambled back into the house for a snack. After a light meal of her favorite Senior dinner, she found a quiet spot on the sofa, curled up and took a snooze. The garden planter box could wait until another day...

As you can see, Maria's Theory dictates simply, put off today what you might feel like doing tomorrow, or at some fuzzy time in the future. All personal whims must be accommodated first. See how easy it is?

I have employed her theory for unwanted or unpleasant tasks most of my life, not just vexing garden chores, and I must say, it works! Try it today and have a bit of fun. Maria would approve.
