Garden humor thread..

Minus 5 degrees (F) last night. Single digits (F) -- with a lot of sunshine -- for the day. Why do I live where the air hurts my face? Good question. Inertia mostly, I suppose. That and family is here.

While I could garden anywhere, here is where I was born and here I will stay. My baby is 40 YO today! Makes me feel even older.

Yes, I suppose that is why I stay also! Happy Birthday to your son.

I just ordered a
LIFE ALERT bracelet
so if I ever get a life
I will be notified immediately. (sigh)

That was an old lady joke I guess. I am getting old, fast.

I used to make fun of the help I fallen and can't get up lady. Not anymore

 

[Smart Red]

You betcha, Nyboy. Getting older changes us in many ways. Who knew 20 years ago that falling and not being able to get up was possible outside of TV? Twice in the past 2 weeks, DH has come flying out of the shower and fallen on the bathroom floor. Both times he needed help to get untangled from the shower curtain and get up.

My mom once spent 4 hours unable to get up from toilet. My dad was home but on other side of house didn't hear her calling for help. After I tied a cell phone to her walker.

There is a sad story around here about a beloved elderly minister who, living alone, fell while getting out of the tub, got lodged between the tub and toilet, and was stuck....died there, wasn't found for days.

That's so sad So Lucky.

My mom fell in the garden and dad couldn't hear her. She was finally able to crawl to the back door and bang on it. I sent her a little garden tool apron to keep her cell in, but she didn't use it.
