As I'm sitting here at the computer upstairs, I have the windows open to catch some of that nice cooler air that's been hanging around today. The sounds of a nice summer day are also making their way through the windows: a basketball bouncing across the street, the occasional passing car, and now a leaf blower.
But unlike the nice safe gentleman pictured here, with his ear-protectors, and feet firmly planted on the ground, my neighbor has decided to blow the debris off his ROOF, while standing on said roof. Did I mention this is also a 2-story house with a fairly steeply-sloped roof?
This just seems like a bad idea. However, my evil twin Keerstin says, "Where's my video camera for that inevitable 'America's Funniest Home Videos' moment?" Then good Kristin steps in and says, "Remember when your dad fell off a 20-ft ladder 2 years ago, and how unfunny that was?"
So, I guess I'll sit here with 911 within my reach, and hope for the best...
Have a safe & enjoyable Labor Day Weekend!

Doug does crazy stuff like that, too, although he is Mr. Safety and is always prepared. I still cringe when he is doing something like that, tho, even if he is being safe. Sheesh....
Hope your neighbor survived!!

I can't imagine . . . !
You wouldn't want to see our house then. Tim does that often....leaf blowers are great for cleaning out gutters!!
Tim's dad fell out of a tree a few months before we got married. Broke every bone in his head....and now he carries a card so that he can pass security. His metal plate sets off the metal detectors!! Yikes!
Love the new picture of you and David. You look smashing, darling!
