So VE over at his Fantastical Nonsense blog has toyed with the idea of decreasing posts or quitting as he is burning out. So what did he finally decide? To post every day for the rest of the month. Why? It's his 4th blogging anniversary, 1000 post and Memorial Day (U.S.) all rolled into one.
I've been around since May 2005 according to blogger, but when I went back to look at my very first post I can say with 99.9% certainty that I know that was not the first thing I posted so I suspect blogger lopped a few off from the early days.
I've tried to quit a few times but I'm still here. Good thing I'm not a smoker as I seem to have trouble quiting things;-)
On a side note, Mr. P and I were working in the yard yesterday when J&J and some of there kids and grandkids were visiting. Mr. J told Mr. P how much he liked our gazebo that we had just put up for the summer. The conversation went as follows:
Mr. J: "That's such a nice gazebo! Lovely!"
Mr. P: "Thanks! We really need something as we have no shade so it helps."
Mrs. J then pipes up: "I know!!! Since you took that hedge down we have no shade now!"
Mr. P and I could only laugh when we got in the house. Apparently now she's decided she liked the hedge after all. I think she's crazy. If it weren't for Mr. J.'s pleasant demeanor she'd be eating the hedge by now;-)

Neighbors are weird.
Hedges, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
It sounds like it's been a clear case of you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
I could probably eat a hedge if I was hungry.
All fences make for good neighbors. We have a hedge up in the front yard that only goes halfway towards the sidewalk. Hubby got tired of planting the hedges that were given to us and so that was that. The gardeners have shaped it into a train and so it looks like a train is coming out of the backyard. What can I say, I could finish it but then I know I won't.
Anyway I do read your blog and wanted you to know. I just do not always comment because my shoulder still hurts even though it has been 9 months since the surgery, it still freaking hurts. Although sometimes I do think it might have more to do with the arthritis and our hot/cold weather we continue to have here in California. Today it was hot in the daytime and now it is cold at night. And since I hate being messed up on the pain pills then I just read and do not always comment.
Anyways I just wanted you to know. Oh and keep looking to the right. I have so enjoyed this story about the fence. But I did like the pics too.
God bless.
