I have given that up long ago except when the ladder is leaning securely against a wall. I even find standing on a chair dicy and have to be sure that there is something to hold on to up above me.<br />We have had a very dry summer and a lot of my plants have giving up.

I climbed up on my mom's roof a couple of times to clean it off and though I'm not afraid of heights I found the experience a little hair-raising.

Actually we are about to have our gutters and downspouts replaced so that should be a step in the right direction.David M.

It's not one of our natives, though. The only place in the U.S. where it's native is around <a href="http://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Stachytarpheta%20jamaicensis.png" rel="nofollow"> South Florida,</a> with a slight move into Alabama. No matter. It's a terrific additional to butterfly gardens, and it's pretty commonly planted around here.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-2103208961638962282022-10-05T17:47:15.354-05:002022-10-05T17:47:15.354-05:00I want to go out and play in the dirt, but I am st...I want to go out and play in the dirt, but I am still mourning my dog. It was 39 when I got up this morning, then shot to 70 by noon! I don't do ladders. My son cleaned out gutter while we were here. I have always been cautious of heights, but Jeff used to jump from the roof to the swimming pool. He got right up on the roof, said the mountain view was even better up there!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-68467540592017284022022-10-05T13:21:00.479-05:002022-10-05T13:21:00.479-05:00You get so much done there.
