    Light rye toast with ginger jam, please! And a nice cup of chai - finished doing some of the leaf-vac'ing as the rain began. Still plenty of leaves out there, but as it is I'll have to explain the myriad of bruises on my legs when I have my annual physical next week ... the ones still remaining are on the steepest and most densely covered with bushes part of the hill.

    Thanks - the most help would simply be a decent sense of balance. I don't mind the work, it's the falling down that's annoying, and the bruises that longer for weeks afterward that Paul worries about.

    David, I'll trade you the clearing of one small but steep, brush-covered back yard for a half acre of golf course - flat, mown and fewer obstacles!

    Not that I'd want to cut down the lilac bushes and all the other shrubs and trees in my yard at any other time of the year - the birds (from junco up to the huge wild turkeys) and critters love it, and the sparrows shelter in the yews when the weather is nasty. My neighbor obliterated all the vegetation and "terraced" the yard shortly after moving in, put down some grass seed and gravel, and afterwards admitted it kinda had a "prison yard" feel. His sister has mitigated it somewhat with some plantings, but the wildlife and children prefer my yard!

    Karen, you can have the entire course! Some flat spots, but it's a hilly course. However, you can trade your backyard for my backyard, it's fairly big, but FLAT. Cleanup is a breeze!

    Sorry, RICHARD. You can take the boy away from groundskeeping, but you can't take groundskeeping out of the boy! Sorry about the shoptalk. Let me have a BIG cup of coffee, please?

    David,
    I don't have any problem with anyone talking shop here at Thursday's!

    YOu should be able to decompress, I was just poking fun at the direction that our esteemed green thumbs were going!

    Relax and here's your coffee!

    DONE!
