From the Kiser Roll Chronicles

This week, Artist and Academic, Dauna Kiser, ended her day at the local Farmers’ Market as happy as if she had good sense.  She had made a killing selling weeds to area residents who were buying them in large quantities.  She was dizzy from doing the happy dance.  Her customers seemed as pleased as she.  “These are the best weeds I’ve ever seen,” said one woman who had bought several bunches.  “I don’t have any of my own left, so I will enjoy looking at these every day.”  One man bought a dozen bunches.  “My wife keeps pulling ours up.  These are for the barn.  She hardly goes out there.”  Another couple bought a bunch for each room in their house.  “An exceptional value for $10.00 per bunch, and so nicely arranged.  We love them!” said the husband.  “The vase is pretty nice, too,” added his wife.

On a side note, the vases are hand-built, high fired, one-of-a-kind items Kiser tossed in with the purchase of a bunch of weeds.  “I couldn’t find enough bread bags and twisty-ties, and I didn’t want the weeds to dry out and maybe die,” she said thoughtfully.  “I could put water in the vases, then.  It seemed to work out alright.”

Kiser decided to sell her large crop of weeds at the Farmers’ Market on the advice of a Facebook friend.  Her friend made this suggestion after reading on Facebook that Kiser had discovered a “nice crop of weeds” in her yard.  Another friend added that “one persons’ weeds were another person’s herbs,” which Kiser thought sounded prophetic.  “I like prophecies,” she said enthusiastically.  “I might come up with my own one of these days.  I’m pretty sure it will come true if I can get enough people to believe it.” She went on to explain how the sequence of comments and their content resulted in her actions that concluded in her enriched bank account.

“I hope more weeds grow,” she added.  “I’m going to sell those spiny kinds next time.  The flowers on the top of them kind of get in the way, but I have an idea about that.”
