Money doesn't grow on trees.
Money is difficult to get and to keep
A thorn in my side.
Something that annoys you.
Heard it through the grapevine
I heard it from someone.
Beat around the bush
Not being clear, avoiding answering.
As busy as a bee
Very busy
The last straw
After a series of problems, the last one that makes you feel very frustrated and angry. You might feel like quitting!
To have a green thumb
Good with plants
To have a brown thumb
Bad with plants
To put down roots
To settle down in a city. To live there and get a job.
A bed of roses
Very easy and beautiful
As Fresh as a daisy
healthy, clean and full of energy (lots of people say this about themselves after they take a shower.
To dig yourself into a hole
Do something that gets you into trouble.
Make a mountain out of a molehill
Make a problem seem much bigger than it really is

start over again fresh
Nip it in the bud
Fix the problem before it gets worse
The grass is always greener on the other side
Things often seem better for other people, even if they are not
clear as mud
hard to understand
Hit the hay
go to sleep
out of the woods
no longer in danger...or in trouble
Stop and smell the roses
Take your time and enjoy life!
To cherry pick
Choose only the best one! Leave the ones that are not good for others.
knock on wood
good luck
can't see the forest through the trees
not clear; difficult to understand
A late bloomer
A person who is slow to get started.
Bloom where you are planted
take advantage of the opportunities that you have, be grateful for what you already have
