Had a close call today. Rushing around getting the recycling out to go to the curb today, and as I was stepping over the box we'd been using as a "gate" to keep the dogs out of the livingroom (since both Elf and Imp can climb/jump the baby gates we have), I caught my leading foot on something and tripped, came on so close twisting that ankle, but also fell forward and drove my following leg into the top of the box. Oooheee ... boy did that hurt where smashed into it, and the bruise has been developing throughout the day (I could easily feel it immediately!). I's already purple and black and blue ... and I think there's a little bit of green in there, too.
Ouch!
Anyhoo, on my lunch I did manage to get out with the clippers and cut down pretty much all of the baby plum trees and blackberry canes to the side of the house, between it and the garden shed. Since there is a board knocked out from the fence there, I've tried to tangle up the clippings in front of the fence to keep the dogs away from the gap ... I've already jury rigged the gap on the other side of the house ... and now I just need to make sure that they are both secure, and then work on the big gap where the section of fence got torn down. That's going to be the hard part! Hopefully on Thursday, we will have half-decent weather and Maxx will be awake during daylight hours, and we can deal with it together. We'll see!
