Homesteading Truth #1

Posted on 2006-Jun-6 at 09:50

If you step on a hoe in the garden, the other end will indeed come up and smack you in the face, just like on The Three Stooges.

Stay tuned for more truths which I will post when the swelling goes down.

I almost feel bad for laughing out loud when I read this! I hope it didn't really happen to you...and if it did, I hope it didn't leave a bruise!

Yes dh is 'training' our boys in this, as they were each given their own hoe's and other garden tools..any time he sees one laying down 'wrongly' they have to come and turn it over....

I hope you didn't hurt yourself too much!! So sorry to hear this news...

I do hope you are OK. I had something similar happen, but I was backing up. And I didn't get any sympathy from my DH...he was too busy laughing!!

I am not laughing at you ...... I am not laughing at you ...... I am not laughing at you (oh, my Leah we have too much in common - I so can picture myself doing this :) )

Sending healing blessings your way.

Love Cathie

Hi Leah,

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. It hasn't happened to me, but I'm clumsy as well so it could. Did you put something on the swelling, like Arnica (hope that's the same in English)?

love, Ellen
