"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."

Well, we're not there yet, but the Tree To Be has now topped the two-foot mark on its way to the sky. Sweetgum-haters like McGehee will point out that it's still mowable at this point, which is true; I've chopped down dandelions at this height before, and they've got a heck of a lot more infrastructure. (About a quarter-century ago, I had a dandelion staring me in the face, but that's another story, and it required more substantial hardware to remove.) On the other hand, if I ever get around to expanding this actual house — don't count on it any time soon — both sweetgums and the shed will become expendable, and I'll probably have to go away for a month just so I don't witness the carnage. Posted at 9:31 AM to SurlywoodYa know? If you get one of those low to the ground beach type chairs, and position it *justright*... Okay, maybe it's too soon. But what an immensely hopeful sight to behold! :-) Posted by: Jennifer at 1:36 PM on 8 July 2006Sweetgum-haters like McGehee will point out that it's still mowable at this point, which is true... I've already conceded that if I lived where the wind comes sweeping down the plains, with nothing between me and Hudson Bay but a barbed-wire fence, my attitude toward sweetgums might more closely approximate yours. Not by much, but some. Posted by: McGehee at 2:00 PM on 8 July 2006No McGehee, |
