This is my post for #freewriters 2563 prompt don’t quote me! hosted by @mariannewest

I am sitting here in my own little world happily pulling weeds when a sprinkler head breaks from one of the sprinklers that water the areca palms and water is going 25 feet in the air. I run to turn the sprinklers off and my husband goes to see what broke.

It was a fitting that broke, he says he has more. 30 minutes later he is standing over me griping how he has every size fitting except the one he needs and he proceeds to tell me how much he hates irrigation and now he has to go to Home Depot and buy the right size fitting.

While he is carrying on about hating irrigation, my daughter is in the yard yelling about how her DNA has been changed, her belly button is not in the same place that it used to be. I have tried to tell her she is 43 not 23 and things change when you get older.

And while they both carry on, I am listening to Bridge over Troubled Water. I only want to stay in my little world of pulling weeds, but don’t quote me! on that.

That is a remarkable picture ... and yes, at 43, one's DNA has changed with age ... I am 43, and I co-sign what you are saying!

But sometimes, we and the Lord and the flowers and lizards have to just reach for contentment and stay in our own little world. At this point, I live from my own world, go into the worlds I share with others, and return ... staying grounded in the fact that the Lord is taking care of all things including us is key...

Thanks about the picture.
You can always put it better in words than I can and your words are "spot on".

When I am pulling weeds, it is like I am in my own little world and I let the world go on around me.
!LOL

I like to let my mind wander when I am weeding. I tend to think about lots of different things, and try to keep them positive things.

Me too, I don't want to hear about problems.
