Just because you love horses doesn’t mean you should go all rodeo when you ride one.
Just because something looks cool doesn’t mean you should do it.

TIL that when you’re gardening in the Pacific Northwest, it’s very important to plant trees, shrubs, et al native to the region, which means that they can continue to exist – and thrive – regardless of the up and down extremes of local weather.
