Excessive Misery

I've been getting around a lot better lately. I can drive again and I only need one crutch. On Friday I took Ian and Saffron to a friend's wedding reception. We went to Harmon's to get a card and a gift certificate and I had to walk down the seasonal isle which was full of gardening equipment. I felt sad walking past the seeds, shovels, clippers, garden gloves, hoses, and sprinklers thinking about all the things in the garden that I want to do but am unable. It brought to mind this song that I remember hearing as a kid from Hee Haw on TV.

I always liked this tounge-in-cheek ode to sadness. It's kind of a pain not being able to do what I want, but it makes me appreciate more the things I can do.
