RE: A Day of Rest and Recovery in the Garden

A weekend day in the garden is never a punishment, but I do indeed wish I could put on a slightly happier face. Tripping over branches is never a good idea when you are running with your dog, and if there is a large oak tree it becomes a painful event. Strangely, some people blame the dog, and the surgeon who treated my wound asked me what I was going to do to ensure that this dog walker joke wouldn't happen again. He looked surprised when I said, "I'll put a pillow around every tree in that path, so if I trip again while running with the dog, my face will end up in the pillow instead of the hard tree."

Thank you for not telling jokes that make me laugh. I really appreciate it!
