Fertilizer

I came across this quote today in a pile of papers.  I can’t remember if I had posted it before -

“On my way to visit the James’ the other evening, I saw a wheat field that appeared to be greener and taller than the others.  Thinking about it for awhile, I concluded that occasionally some loving farmer drives over the field with his tractor and pumps manure all over it.  I thought, ‘My, it’s just like life.  Here we are minding our own business, growing our little hearts out.  We’re really quite green somewhat productive and very sincere.  When out of the blue, life deals us a dirty one, and we’re up to our eyebrows in maure.  We, of course, conclude that life as we have known it has just ended and will never be the same again.  But one day, when the smell and the shock are gone, we find ourselves greener and more productive than we have been.’  Unfortunately, no matter how often we go through these growing experiences, we are never able to appreciate the smell of the manure when it comes.”  Harold W Wood.

I’m thinking that I’m having manure spread all over right now.  Can’t wait to see the growth after!
