B, part of the struggle with the bond is that he won't go away
And part of the reason he wont go away is because of the bond! His awful behaviour makes it hard to think of him with compassion, but I do try to make my peace
In fact I sometimes stomp around my garden muttering rude words (when he pops into my head, which unfortunately is quite often at present)
I take care of my own yard - grass, flowers, hedges. This year I do not have time to tend vegetables, and the ones I can buy locally are very good and cheap. Maybe next year again.
I have vines, and a fig tree and old roses climbing against the walls. And a toad who lives under a large stone. I do not think if I kiss the toad it will become a prince. In fact I harbour suspicions that it might be a girl toad, so we both might get a shock!
