With heat and humidity reaching records, staying inside is smart. But the clover is blooming and growing and the weeds are growing in cracks in the driveway cement.
What did one Mother Weed say to her neighbor Mother Weed as they looked at their youngsters?

Children love summer, being out of school, in water somewhere. When they are little, they don’t mind that it’s a plastic swimming pool Dad brought home for them to splash in. Later they want more and more to slide down something to a splash in water. Slippy slides down a small hill on a water laden piece of plastic is a big thrill.
