I very often do not understand my wife, especially when she gives me instructions. A few weeks ago she informed me that she needed to “stake the zinnias” in the front garden. I know what zinnias are. I know what it means to stake something. I still did not comprehend what these two words meant together.
Fortunately I am adept at asking questions and getting to the bottom of things.
Hoping I had done this right, I came up with this:
Note how the Blessed Mother appears to be watching over our garden. I placed her there to honor her amidst all the colorful flowers that usually grow in the garden.
Also, I must have done this right because here we are a mere two weeks later…
Blessed Mother is still there, I assure you. I guess her presence inspired these things to grow really tall.
