How does a doctor's bill equate with frugal gardening you ask? Well here is my story and I'm sticking to it.

I went to the dump and what did I see? The base of a bird bath made of concrete. Well I back the car right up to it and then lifted my treasure. And at that very moment I knew I was in trouble. My back screamed and my arms froze. But I have the base in the trunk and I'm still happy with my find. And the doctor I'm sure is happy with getting 125 dollars for telling me to take some more mortin.

lol, it didn't work (best layed plans of mice and men). But I pulled the car to the place I wanted it and then sort of slid it out of the trunk. It wasn't to bad doing it that way. Now I just have to find room in the budget for the basin.

I've been spending some time on a bibliophile website and studying up on books. I end up with my mind full of quotes.
