Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what the photo's about.
There's no right or wrong. If the photo evokes something in you, that's all it is.
As each new Zen Monday is posted, a label is added to last week's to identify it (if I know what it is).
It's a dirty job, but someone has to feel free to clean the dirt. & must make sure not to get soiled.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, most Xcellent find.
It's one of those deeply philosophical things. Or possibly modern minimalist poetry.
ReplyDeleteIt rained so hard this past weekend in Pasadena that the Van Damms invited their neighbors to come in and remove the 2 feet high wall of dirt that oozed into their house due to the mudslide.
ReplyDeleteHere we call it sanitary land fill.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to the muddy stuff that appears here?!?!
ReplyDeleteLooks more like a mud slide or oooze happened and they want help cleaning it up.
I laugh at these signs---because often the places that are supposedly "clean" turn up a few weeks later as a SuperFund site, or other toxic spill location---ala a gas station around the corner near us---open one week and an "organic" place that grew food next door---yes, in the ground---this week the station is shuttered, fenced off, notice of toxic chemicals in the ground---yet the organic place is still in business!
It was a nice gesture, but now the washer's broken.
ReplyDeleteSure, but is it certified organic? This is a scam. It's really just dirty dirt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I autoclaved it myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's the dirty dirt you have to worry about.
ReplyDeletehmmm free clean dirt - nice way to get free labor.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than free clean dirt-y fun! Lol!
ReplyDeleteAll our nematodes have been freshly bathed!
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to dirty dirt!
ReplyDeleteThey can't fool me. Dirt's dirt and I"m not falling for that scam.
ReplyDeleteWhenever we kids would drop something on the floor by accident, my mother always said, "We have clean dirt!"
ReplyDeleteI think her spirit painted that sign.
Interesting house; a little creepy but not quite. I'm curious to see more of it now. And I love that big tree in the yard.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 80s someone gave me a shirt with a drawing of a guy selling "Fill dirt and croissants." They said it reminded them of me.
ReplyDeleteI saw on tv how they make fine organic fertilizer. Firs they take cow dung, it is sorta treated, but not much. Then it's put on this looong wide conveyor beltish looking thing. It has earthworms near the bottom. The worms eat their way up through the dung, popping it out. The worm poop layer is shaved off, while the worms keep moving up, and a new layer of cow dung is placed on top.

ReplyDelete"CLEAN DIRT
ReplyDelete98% less fat than regular DIRTY DIRT"
affordable real estate
ReplyDeleteOkay, guess how many words I had to look up.
ReplyDeleteVanda, the poop didn't phase me but something about all those worms icked me out. Is that the general idea for how composting works too? It's diabolical, but brilliant. I've been meaning to get a composter but I may never do it if I have to have all those worms near the house.
Miss H, this was taken in northwest Pasadena, not South Pas.
After all the rain we've had, my dirt is pretty clean now. I think I can move forward. You?
Merci for your participation. You are all, as Katie said, "a little creepy but not quite." And I mean that in a good way.
Petrea, earthworms are your friends. They also make excellent fishing bait.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to this party but I have to say how much I love this!
ReplyDeleteI had the same idea AH---a few hours after I posted...poor washing machine...or SHOUT it out! ;-)
ReplyDeleteelizabeth---but now the autoclave is dirty...how to kasher an autoclave? humnnn.
Miss H---we'll just call it SoPas North...by a few bazillion centimeters...SoPas is fine, well, mostly fine--have you experienced California Concrete most folks have in their backyards in SoPas (hint, dig down a foot or so in most gardens)? My only question is---I know how to feel dirty...how does one feel felonious? ;-)
PA---now THAT's the ticket---get everyone who is underhoused to take a little dirt and viola, problem solved!
Off to dig in my dirt...k, the worm thing is starting to creep me out too...sigh
