No. She planted a "grass slipper." Two of them.
Thanks to Sandra Adams-Doyle of Johns Hopkins University, who sent us this photo. She said she couldn't remember what grass looked like, so she planted some in a pair of shoes "that have no business in 30 inches of snow."
They sit now on a desk in her office, where they are no doubt brightening the days of everyone who walks by - who walks buy in snow boots.
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan, Maybe you were just getting carried away with the hyphens...but there is NO HYPHEN in Johns Hopkins University.
Johns Hopkins was the name of one man.
Very cute shoes though. We all need some spring!

I think I actually had those shoes in red. Must have been the 80s.
