Chainsaws and Silk Stockings

June 18th, 2008 10:08 pm MDT

Last Tuesday a small tornado spun down the other side of my street and down along the trail through the woods. Spent the first day chainsawing my way out to the main road. Spent 5 days without power and even worse, 6 days unplugged from the Matrix .... I mean the Internet. Got to spend some time with the neighbors and help a few others. Will be doing cleanup for the rest of the Summer. Luckily My Wild Flower gardens survived. Life is still good and wonderful up here! Apologies for not getting back to friends in a timely manner. Thought of "The Lumberjack Song" from Monte Python while cutting through the morass. Gotta have a sense of humor about all this. I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay. I sleep all night and I work all day. He's a lumberjack, and he's okay. He sleeps all night and he works all day. I cut down trees. I skip and jump. I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing And hang around in bars. He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps. He likes to press wild flowers. He puts on women's clothing And hangs around in bars?! He's a lumberjack, and he's okay. He sleeps all night and he works all day. I cut down trees. I wear high heels, Suspendies, and a bra. I wish I'd been a girlie, Just like my dear Papa. He cuts down trees. He wears high heels, Suspendies, and a bra?! He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay. He sleeps all night and he works all day.
