WHAT'S A BEAR TO DO? (3)

Subtitle: "In which Bear and J work several hours in the garden, and accomplish some improvements."


Ah, yes; this IS starting to look better.

Looks like you managed to tame it. Was the stick for beating back unruly weeds or is that how your wife keeps you working?

Actually, BF, you're wrong, twice.

It's one of the two sticks, attached by string, that I use to get a (more or less) straight line when creating the borders for some of the garden spaces. You've probably seen that sort of thing done in the past.

Good for you, Bear. :)

I admire your tenacity and pugnacity. I enjoy watching gardening people...but I have not that passion.

Rob-bear said...

® Natalie and potsoc: Thank you for your support. There is one thing you may have overlooked, Paul, in your list of "tenacity and pugnacity"; that might be "stupidity."

But, hey, I'm easy about those things. As in labels. Il n'y a pas de quois."

I fail to see stupidity here. Stubbornness? Maybe but not stupidity.

I'm with potsoc. I love garden work. I could lay in the shade and watch someone do it all day.

Figured that was what the sticks and string were for but just tried to feed you a straight line. I expected a response such as you were using it to measure for the third down or something.

Nature abhors a straight line, donchano?

® potsoc: Stubborn? Could be. Of questionable sanity? Perhaps. Who in his right mind would do this gardening when it ends up hurting my back to badly? (That sounds kinda "stupid" to me, but I yield to your very considered wisdom.)

® BF: Your love of gardening seems just so "you." In the meantime, I'm doing my best to follow a straight line. And even more than a straight line, nature abhors a vacuum, especially a Pink Panther with a vacuum. (But you would have had to see the cartoon to get that line.)
