How to feel like a GIRL

I noticed with some dry interest that two of the fallen trees had taken out quite a bit of their fence.
Sometimes you get to see poetic justice in action. The resulting satisfaction is a perfectly healthy response. 
Those trolleys must be mandated by law at all garden centers, farm stores, and building supply centers across the universe. If you ever get a good one, that, say, steers, someone has clearly made a mistake. At least your own wheeled conveyance was on good behavior and transported you, hellhounds, and compost without a glitch. Good for Wolfgang!

But at least, hurrah for Wolfgang's continued good health.

'Basic' can cover quite a large territory, from places where the staff know what they're doing to places where the fact that they opened the shop is all the service you need.

One would think that, given that there are more garden centres than just about anything else around here, one would be able to find parking somewhere closer than 1/4 mile away. Fascinating, that.
I'm so very glad Wolfgang was up to the challenge. And hope someone helped you unload when you got home...

I've often done the same with large sacks of dog food.
Hoorah for Wolfgang!
