I think I have been known to do some dangerous stunts like that on the table as well. Ooooh I bet your flowers were so beautiful, Susan and how sweet of your dear son to gift and plant them for you.

We have a lot in the holler , but if you go down the road a mile or so they are few and far between which is so interesting. Have a great week. Hugs.

I laughed when you said leaping spryly, thinking about how I would look, carefully holding on to something, stepping down slowly, almost falling over ... but I'd still do it. You can't change a lifetime of that habit of standing on rickety chairs to successfully do what you want. We won't talk about stacking it on a table first. LOL<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, and the lovely flowers, too. I'm so happy with this spring! My son bought some (a LOT) of tulips that were not blooming, but had stems. He planted 12 pinky reds and 12 yellows in 3 places in the yard, and they bloomed in a week. How gorgeous it all looked for that week!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172703240976388442.post-86980090865379008782023-03-31T23:23:34.704-05:002023-03-31T23:23:34.704-05:00I, too, miss having a clothesline!
