It's a song by the Shins "Know your Onions", but it's also a very important life lesson; as evidenced by my mistake last summer. We took a notion, myself and Mr VtB, to go a gardenin. We dug the flowerbeds to death, pulling out all the weeds, loosening the muck, and as I thought clearing out those darned weird onions that I kept finding everywhere. Twas only this spring when I saw the first lovely daff's peeking up from the front garden - (which luckily escaped our green fingered escapades) that I realised my mistake. However - Nature is amazing, and these brave little fellar's grew straight out of the wheelbarrow of loose leaves and detritus that just hadn't quite made it into the compost bin. Know your onions - sage advice indeed. Know your sage too - goes lovely with the onions.

strange onions! i'm loving that!
but each to their own daftness. i had to have the whole easter/resurrection thing explained to me this week. fairly embarassing!
Congrats on the enlightenment. What did you think of it all? It's kind of confusing, isn't it - he's dead, no wait he's not, aha here he is, no he's gone back to heaven to see his dad. Like the scarlet pimpernelle he woulda been - impossible to keep track of!
i'm slightly confused that altho i did go to sunday school for quite some time all that new testament stuff kind of passed me by despite it, really, being the important bit. may to the old testament was just more exciting for a child what with the beheadings and the parting of the waves and all that.
as to the enlightenment of it all. each to their own i guess. quite some number of my friends are pleasantly religious and i rather like it. it's those shouty ones that are the problem. if i was jk rowling i'd probably call them all dawkinses...
Sport, Politics, Religion - this blog has it all!!
On the old testemant - it's pretty brother's grimm alright, we had some fun trying to find readings for d wedding - there's some weird results come up under love - one in particular - this old guy, can't remember his name now, "violated" a young girl he "loved" then asked her dad if he could marry her. And they say romance is dead... We're not using that particular one.
