Success!
We have clean gutters.
Although I have to say, I thought this added a sweet and decorative element to our humble abode:
The Mister did a fine job. The hardest part was moving that crazy ladder. We almost broke two windows in the process, but all is well that ends well.
At one point I said, "What am I supposed to do if this ladder starts to tip over?"
"Get out of the way and pray" was his answer.
I didn't just hold ladders this weekend, I also was able to pick veggies from my garden:
Jalepeños, cucumber, chive, sweet pea, basil and a tomato (that wasn't quite ripe but had been broken off by a careless farmer during the watering process.)
I also finished my first crocheted afghan:
(Truth be told I finished this the beginning of last week, but I wanted to give it to the baby-mama before posting.)
Mondays are always filled with weekend clean up so I am thinking about making my Monday posts short and ending with "links".
Here are the links for this Monday....
You can get your mind out of the gutter with this post: Getting Wise and Empowered - Finding Balance
You can remember that we no longer have to live in the gutter with this post: Guilty - Lift My Noise
And in anticipation of Father's Day...this one has no bearing on the "Gutter" theme but it IS fun to do with the kids:
Formal Greeting Card - Family Fun
Happy Monday!

this ""Get out of the way and pray" was his answer." made me snicker.
thought it wouldn't have been funny if you actually had to do it.
I love how productive you are- totally inspiring!
whew way to go cleaning the gutters! Love the response to the what to do if it starts to fall.. so comforting ;-). I need to get some spring cleaning done.. I'm thinking do it this week since next week is VBS and I can sit at the bookstore for half the day ;-) *wink*!
Oh dear...these men!! I have stopped saying "be safe" to D as he heads out on the trails...I got tired of his eye rolls and have a sneaking suspicion it doesn't do any good anyways. And D3 and M are just like their daddy.
So fun to catch up on your blog this morning. It has been too long! Hugs to the family from ours!!!
You are a MUCH better farmer than me! My "crop" this year is pitiful. I think I'd like to try the elevated garden next year...
Why is it that husbands think a little wife could "catch" them if they fell????? I like the response from yours!
Aww...you got rid of the decorative touch? that response of 'get out of the way and pray' made me laugh out loud.
All too true!
Jealous you already are harvesting!!! Ours are coming slowly...so far basil only. ;)
I'm almost craving a salad now after seeing all those beautiful veggies. Almost.
