Ode to LC

"Friends with Green Spaces" (My apologies to Garth Brooks)

Blame it all on LC
He let out a plea
About growing plots with a flair
They last all year long
They do you no wrong
And alas
The deer will be there

Well I saw the surprise
And the joy in their eyes
When they tried the LC mix
So I toasted him
Said, "gotta get this on film"
It's better than Tiffany flicks

'Cause, I've got friends with green spaces
Where the deer herd eats
And mama doe chases the bucks away
But I'll be okay
I'm not big on year round places
But these folks have quite an oasis
Oh, I've got friends with green spaces


Well, I guess I've been wrong
Plantin' just oats so long
But then, it has worked over time
Everything's all sweet
I'll just add some wheat
And fertilize this plot of mine

Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me some clover and bean
Well, I'll throw and mow
And before you know
Best plot ever seen

'Cause, I've got friends with green spaces
Where the deer herd eats
And mama doe chases the bucks away
But I'll be okay
I'm not big on year round places
But LC folks have quite an oasis
Oh, I've got friends with green spaces

Paul was a very "deer" friend of ours. During the few years we knew him we got to get together on several occasions...those were some of my favorite days in the deer world. He was everything that people say and more. A funny guy in his own awkward way, always a gentleman and true friend. A man of conviction, compassion and especially in the end, a man of courage.
I thought for sure, at some point, he would get tired of answering my thousands of questions on switchgrass, then there were the thousands of questions on herbicides, and at least a thousand more on installing an electric fence, then if I didn't think of a question, my husband would. But, no matter how busy he may of been, he would always take the time to ease the worries of any mistakes we may have made. He told me at one time...I held the record for questions asked, I'm very proud of that achievement! Because I know how many questions he received daily...
