I hope you did not get hurt at all. I am often working on a hillside too and do not wear the best shoes for the chore sometimes. Your milk can story is a riot... imagining you clamoring up the hill! Funny too about how we are perceived by our neighbors! Gardeners can become a bit eccentric! I think it is a good way to be! I love your pansies and hope you are having sunny days by now.

Yes, we are having the April showers now, too. I'm frustrated because this was the week I was going to plant all my annuals, and now they're going to have to wait.

Whew! <br /><br />I've often wished the municipal "arborists" were in my neck of the woods too, just to help me out of a usually self-imposed pickle. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, does it? I had to laugh. They've been all around the area lately butchering away... and yet still managed to miss the limb that knocked out the power to 30,000 customers including moi, during yesterday's windstorm. <br /><br />I enjoy your sense of humor about it all. Sometimes all we can do is laugh about it. :) I'll think of you next time I dive into my Oreos!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-90193018284164503352010-05-19T23:03:03.097-04:002010-05-19T23:03:03.097-04:00Sheesh, and here I was set to complain about the w...Sheesh, and here I was set to complain about the wind in my next post. I don't think I have the right to gripe about anything ever again after all you've been through. <br /><br />Don't think the neighbors have heard any colorful words from me but I should note I have a fountain and I believe that filters the noise (from me) a bit;)<br /><br />Christine in AlaskaChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-83668470859479927792010-05-19T18:45:00.266-04:002010-05-19T18:45:00.266-04:00Oh Lona, I'm glad you weren't hurt, but I&...Oh Lona, I'm glad you weren't hurt, but I'm picturing you rolling down the hill too!
