I did it again

I stepped on a nail, and yes I said again.

As a matter of fact, I stepped on this nail......not the little one in front the big one in back

See that big nail in the back? Yeah, I stepped on it - it went through my green knock off crocs (they make great garden shoes) and in to my foot. Way in to my foot. I was screaming my head off and shaking my foot trying to get if off. Um, it didn't come off. I had to pull it off.

You still here - not passed out yet are you?

Thank goodness I had my tetanus shot oh, I would say about two months ago. When I stepped on a nail for the first time, around my birthday....and then I fell over on to some paint cans but that is another story. We were in the doctor's office twice that week. Just call me grace! If anyone needs to find any nails out in your yard just have me over my feet are quite the magnet for them apparently.

In the background, all that mass disaster is the part of the yard we are working on now. I used to have some beautiful climbing roses there. But they have been affected by some kind of blight so I just decided to rip them out and start over again. It breaks my heart to have to rip them out but they really did look bad and nothing I did seemed to help them. And this way I can make that bed bigger (yeah Jason doesn't know this part yet, I think I will just surprise him).

And we were out there working in the heat today I thought I was going to pass out. We finally had to go inside around 1:00pm and if this heat keeps up these are going to be the only things I will be able to grow:

At least the succulents still look good. I have been thinking about trying to make one of those hanging wall planters with the chicken wire and you just fill it full of dirt and stick the succulents in to holes in the chicken wire and then hang it up on the wall. Has anyone ever tried anything like that? That may be put on my list of projects - for Jason to do of course!
