Kathy K, I crossed the yard today to carry out the veggie scraps to the old compost pile, and sonuvagun if that old short hose hadn't been hung up on its rack! Now I had two choices: I could panic that someone was casing this joint, or I could confront my hubby who had absolutely no reason at 30 degrees temp to pass by this part of the garden. He was very solemn about the whole thing, and only answered in monosyllables, yup and nope. Yup, he had picked it up; nope, he had not thrown it down. Therefore, by scientific deduction I have deduced that our ghastly winds of this past week played a part in this... ...That is, I hope so.
