Comments on: Crashing Down http://www.evidently.org/2006/this-life/in-the-light-of-the-morning/ this is my life... Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:10:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Evidently » Blog Archive » Salvaging Hope http://www.evidently.org/2006/this-life/in-the-light-of-the-morning/#comment-21338 Evidently » Blog Archive » Salvaging Hope Fri, 04 May 2007 22:05:02 +0000 http://www.evidently.org/?p=757#comment-21338 [...] The sound of chainsaws woke me after a particularly difficult night of sleep. If you can call it sleep. It wasn’t early, but I was trying to catch up on what I’d lost during the night.  I have plans that involve Scrabble tonight and I’m going to be humiliated even with sleep! This noise has been a long time coming. The mammoth tree that came down in last year’s record storm is finally leaving and along with it, the spider infested shed that was completely rotten. As you can see from the photos in the post below, it was Ivy and plain stubbornness keeping the thing standing. Besides being useless, it has also become the Black Widow Hotel for the neighborhood. Yikes!  So, down it came. [...] [...] The sound of chainsaws woke me after a particularly difficult night of sleep. If you can call it sleep.

He just sounds like such an awesome guy to have next door. May I suggest a nice fruit tree, after you're done with the shed? However, it may take awhile to clear away that cord of next year's firewood. Still want to get rid of that woodstove???? ___________________________________ <em>The wood is no longer mine as it now sits on my neighbor's property. It became his to claim and clean up when it fell.

I'm glad the tree didn't cave in your neighbor or his house. It looks like it might have been sick....so be careful and clean your saw after you chop it up. I'm going to tell Rejjie your lipstick treatment and see if that helps her too! What a fine solution! ___________________________________ <em>I hope the red lipstick works for Rejjie!  And, you overestimate me, thinking I'd have a saw. ~W</em> Drama abounded that’s for sure.

Since the color is brownish/rose-ish/natural-ish, I went with my best guess :) ____________________________________ <em>Heh... good guess! :D I'd so love the job of naming things.  ~W</em> The label on the bottom of the lipstick tube is worn half off … it’s either “natural” or “noticeable” or “notorious” or something-splurge.

Sorry the tree didn't make it. I was going to say something about the female weather wolf, but you'd only respond with "My blog, my rules!" again ... and there ain't no winnin' that argument ;) I will have to try the red lipstick trick. I use 'natural splurge' since red isn't good on me, but maybe I can go for a more rose tone and see if that brings me courage in a dicey situation ;) Normally I just use bad language, but I'm trying to clean up my act. No, I'm not. :D ___________________________________ <em>Natural Splurge is a color??? ~W</em> Quite a storm … glad everyone is okay. Sorry the tree didn’t make it.
