A couple of days ago, while I was picking dead flowers from our front garden and Slippery Kitten was closely inspecting the bare patch of land where (supposedly!) our wild flower lawn should be growing, an old lady stopped to talk to SK. She congratulated us on our nice little garden, while saying she had not seen such nice flowers and such a well-kept garden in our house for a long time. The previous tenants had left the garden alone, and poison ivy and weeds had rapidly grown and spread. Anyway, our old lady, who happened to be a neighbour from our same street, seemed to be genuinely pleased with our garden's appearance and, by inference, with us. We are respectable neighbours with a nice garden. It also means we could be arms dealers, murderers, perverts or even..have smelly feet!, but our neighbours would always think we are nice and respectable because of our garden. Ah, this is what I call flower-power!!!...


Hace un par de dias, mientras yo estaba cortando flores marchitas en nuestro pequenio jardin y Slippery Kitten inspeccionaba el pedacito de terreno donde (supuestamente!) tiene que crecer nuestro cesped de flores salvajes, una ancianita se paro a hablar con SK. La ancianita nos felicito por lo bien cuidado que esta nuestro jardin, diciendo que no habia visto flores tan bonitas en nuestra casa durante mucho tiempo. Los anteriores inquilinos nunca se habian ocupado del jardin, asi que las malas hierbas y las ortigas habian invadido sin compasion el terreno. Por eso la ancianita, que resulto ser vecina de nuestra misma calle, parecia la mar de contenta del aspecto de nuestro jardin y, por inferencia, con nosotros, sus vecinos. Somos vecinos respetables con un jardin bien cuidado. De lo que se deduce que podriamos ser traficantes de armas, asesinos, pervertidos e incluso....olernos mal los pies! y, sin embargo, nuestros vecinos nos considerarian respetables buenas personas gracias a nuestro jardin. Ah, esto si que es flower-power y que los hippies se dejen estar de cuentos....
