"Doug Kanter" in
:

Here's the
meaning which is NOT there, no matter how the words are arranged:

"I want to spend an unpredictable, but possibly very inconvenient
amount of
time, and possibly money cleaning my shoes and carpets after I've
enjoyed a few minutes outside with the flowers."

And, something implied:
"I do NOT want to spend 5 minutes with a large flashlight, making sure
my
lawn's not a minefield on the way to the flowers".

"i hope to avoid being kidnapped and probed by The Aliens the next time i
venture out after dark"
