Thursday, May 24, 2007Cream and Sugar With Your Fertilizer?This is one of those I-just-have-to-comment moments in my life. For the past several days, one of the houses in our neighborhood has been undergoing a huge front yard upheaval. I wasn't really sure if they were having plumbing problems, getting a sprinkling system installed, or if digging up their lawn was a therapeutic thing for them. This morning, I finally saw some progress, and realized that it was actually a landscaping rehaul and not some sort of subterranean disaster. The guys who have been doing all this grunt work are burly, sweaty dudes with bandannas, most of Mexican descent. They're very...well, masculine and sweaty. You know. Yard Guys. So imagine my amusement when, this morning, I drove by the work site and noticed the sign displayed on the edge of the property: "Teacup Landscaping." Teacup? Now, if you were a burly, muscular guy who wanted to make his living doing hard work out-of-doors, would you want to be hired by a company called "Teacup Landscaping?" I'm thinking it's a language problem. Somebody told these guys that "teacup" means "biceps." Or something. Not that "Teacup Landscaping" is a particularly clever name for a landscaping company at any rate -- unless the entire staff consisted of Southern Belles wearing yellow frocks and sipping fruit tea while digging the garden beds. I'd personally feel more confident hiring a company called "Forever Green" or "Lush and Lovely" or even "Gardens R Us." Teacup Landscaping. I'm still not over it. Labels: life |

4of my readers are feeling chatty:
LOLOL! That is FUNNY!!!
But isn't pretty much every moment one of those I-just-have-to-comment moments for you?
;-D
Why yes, as a matter of fact. You're right! :D
apparently there is a comparison in the gardening world between the teacup & contemplating the new outdoor space you wish to create, there are books available if you check out amazon called "the power of the teacup" and "garden in a teacup"...havent figured out the whole thing yet, something about having a cup of tea & thinking..i even googled the company name & they do have a website, thought maybe there would be an explaination about the name, but there isnt...
Too bad they didn't explain their name on their website. But that teacup and gardening connection sounds interesting. :) I'll ask my brother since he's a landscape architecture major. :)
