Shovels At The Ready!  

Sounds like you are just having too much fun now a day!!! I hope it rains for you so you can have your grass. I could hear the beer call all the way over here! Then I knew no more work for the day..Happy planting to you. You are doing a good thing for your town!!xoxoxoxoLori

All-in-all sounds like a fun day. And at least you had the chance and ability to go back and get things finished:)
Hopefully you get some rain, I know I had to water our efforts endlessly last summer, and we still have more to do this year.

Hmmm, you live amongst such characters, darlin, I daresay you fit right in! I love these people! How fun, and quirky and funny. Whistle through her hair - I'm trying to visualize that.

Funny to picture a village green without the green. Bravo for your efforts! And yup, introduce beer into any operation and it's all she wrote. Shoulda known better. Yeah, yeah, shoulda, coulda, woulda. I have a feeling, though, that it's going to go great tomorrow,now that you've rototilled everything, and I want to see pictures of the green when it gets there. Please. God, I can so picture you up there, I swear. XXX

You just have such a wonderful way with words. It is a joy to read your prose. The way you describe each individual is just priceless and I can see them clearly.

Now you watch your back using that rototiller, dear. I don't want you bedridden.

Yep, NEVER let the beer out of the can until the job is DONE! Or at the first break, the job stops!

Wow the village green is going to look wonderful when you have finished Sparky.
When you have finished do you think you could fly over and do my garden for me.
I do not have th time or the energy at the moment,
And it looks a bit "How Ya Going".

LOL...Oh tales of a small insane town...so much fun to read.

Ahh the accomplishments of a team effort ( when there is beer that is!)
Small town life is so great, everyone helping out when needed!
I do hope your grass got green before the bad rains hit. I'd hate to think you all did all that work to just have it washed away!!

Your village sounds like such a neat place to live. I've read a couple of your..I guess they'd be reports...and it really is cool the way you describe everything. I'll be "tuning in" for more of them.

It is so charming the way you describe your small town. I really do believe you have that magic that I was talking about in that show Northern Exposure. There is most certainly something to be said to living in a small place that everyone knows each other and all of their quirks. So much of that is missing in the US. I am already in love with Mad Meg. She seems to be my kind of woman! And Sparks you sure as hell fit in with the LOT! :))))

Sparks I have been away for a week taking care of 8 kid's, but it sounds like you have had your hands more full then I have, LOL. I have been sitting here reading the antic's going on in your little hamlet, and ROFLMAO. I needed a good laugh. What a cast of characters you have on your hands. I think I need to sell my home and move there for the entertainment if for nothing else. Please keep filling us in about the goings on, I love it. There must never be a dull moment there.
