Greener pastures

"Whether" can mean "which of two." Present two alternatives for your readers.

The Bear always credits me with making things more difficult than they have to be.

Hmmm.....this blogging project has turned into somewhat of a self assessment.

When I copied and pasted the writing prompt for tonight, I immediately started "thinking" of alternatives that I could present.

So I thought, this will be easy! Chocolate or vanilla.

Something like that. Easy, I thought.

But as it turned out, I was going to have to come up with some passion about choosing food, and who doesn't go through that already?

After I arrived home, I surveyed the evening duties, trying to arrive at priorities.
Immediately, my thoughts turned from blogging to trying to arrange dinner and other duties to allow me to get outside and go for a walk on this glorious day.
Then I knew what my topic or alternatives would be;
 either to sit inside at the computer or go for a walk.
And now that I'm reading the prompt again, this choice is actually for my readers, not me!

So, I'm going to share my pictures of the afternoon.
Here you see my weedy, raised bed, garden. Can you see it among the weeds?

Next, are the dogwood trees that must be planted, soon!
Actually, we have about six trees to plant this spring.

Now to the alternative to sitting at the computer, going for a walk with my buddy.
Dixie is excited! Can you see her tail wagging in this picture!
She almost wouldn't be still for me to take the picture.

Then we walked. It was a glorious afternoon.
It had just rained a few days ago.
The trees are budding, and the grass is growing.
I love these mesquite trees.
At least that's what my son, that I haven't named yet, calls them.

And then there's the rye and wheat grass fields with the pond in the distance.
Everything is getting so green!
I love spring.
Thank you BlogHer for the writing prompt that got me out for a walk today!
