#144: Rednecks Go Green!!


The buzz words these days in Facilities Maintenance are "Go Green," meaning make your place environmentally friendly. Well, they've even got flat roof buildings designed so you can grow grass and plants on them. DUH...these guys must have been reading Midwest and Plains literature from the NINETEENTH century!! (Google "sod houses" if you're interested. I even remember a novel that I was supposed to read in high school that talked about them, but the title escapes me right now.)
Well, in any event, the Lord's been Greenin' Up the place with recent rains...that may fall mainly on the plain in Spain in the reign of Isabella and Ferdinand who couldn't rein in Ole Chris Columbus, but here it's been in the rolling hills and valleys of Pennsyltucky!) I just want the world in miniature as encompassed in these posts to know that good old Anonymous Man and I are doin' our best to Green Up, too, as evidenced in these snaps of us today. Take note of the color of his shoes from weed whackin' wet grass for a bit and the fact that my ENTIRE tractor is green. I think we're tryin' to get back to our post-Fall position Adam held as a gardener instead of havin' to be maintenance men like he was the day AFTER he and Momma Eve chowed down on the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Got flaming sword to cut the undergrowth?
