I lived with my mother and father on this large plantation of land, but it was covered with vegetables and flowers. Just hundreds of feet you could walk along these lines of flowers and vegetables growing systematically; each in its own block of earth.
So I'm home one day, and I take it upon myself to mow the lawn, which is in front of the house - its just a small patch. I go out there and there are vines covering the grass, everywhere. They seem to be coming from the patches of flowers and vegetables surrounding the house. So my mother comes out and walks me down around the land, and is pointing out, that the overgrown weeds (which look like vines) are so out of control, that they have taken over the patches. So it would look like, a large thick vine covering a bunch of other small weeds. In fact, the vines were so big that they were taller than us, and were bent over - almost quivering.
She got under one of them, to feel around, and I was going "uh you sure you want to do that" but she kept going. I hear her say underneath there "Well, this is interesting." I go "What?" She says "There are all male vines but no female ones - I wonder why they are still growing." Suddenly I panic, worried that the vines might take us because we are female, and I pull my mother out and go "lets get out of here".
We keep walking, and then suddenly come across a baseball field across the street, with families and kids sitting on blankets, eating picnics and playing ball. Apparently this whole time I had a mower in my hand, so one of them yells "Don't mow today!" I say "I'm not! Don't worry!"
We keep walking and we come across an outdoor public pool, my mother says "i didn't know they had a pool in this park' and I decide to jump in at the deep end, which is only 4 feet deep. Must have been a kids pool. I then realize its all dirty at the bottom, and the color is kinda green, so I decide to get back out.
