When I purchased these pants – I don’t know how many years ago – it was
not my intention to wear them in the garden.
They were comfortable shorts – okay, maybe a bit longer than shorts, but
something I could throw on during the summer and not feel the heat of the
fabric surrounding me like an unwanted blanket.
There is a knot in the front.
Well, several knots, really. I
don’t know how to maintain them. I have
tried different methods for keeping them straight when I put them in the wash,
but somehow they always manage to twist themselves together. It seems the harder I work at keeping them
straight and make attempts to keep them from knotting, the more knots and
tangles will form before I remove the pants from the washer.
I can’t find them now, but there used to be some rather ugly stains in
addition to the knots. Thus they became
my garden pants. As they were already
stained, I didn’t figure being in the dirt with them would be a big
problem. Imagine my surprise when I took
them off the clothesline and spred them out to take a picture and now I can’t
find the stains that were there.
Nice job, Mr. Sun!
