Out working today. Driving down a county road. A man coming the other way sticks his arm out the window and flags me down.
"You can't get through," he says. "There's a big tree down across the road."
"OK, thanks," I reply.
But I had to go look. Why? Because there was no where to turn around? Because.... (sheepish grin) Because it's what I do...
That's not such a big tree. I have my 16" bow saw in the car.
A few minutes later, back of car in this picture.
Problem solved.

I love you, Sharkey. :) You are a "can do" sorta gal. I'd like to think I am too--although I don't carry a bow saw in my car.
Went to a sub sandwich place this weekend. When I went to use the restroom, I noticed the water was too high in the toilet, so I grabbed the plunger sitting there and went to town. (It was just clear water) An employee walked in and nearly fell over when she saw what I was doing. "I'm a mom...we do what needs to be done" I said. I didn't fix it, but I tried. (They had a bigger plumbing issue)
My family thinks I'm nuts...I just think "somebody's gotta do it."
What a self-reliant lady!
This post made me smile. Those two pictures sum you up pretty well. It looks like a lot of work, but I bet it was easier than putting all those new shingles on the roof...
My grandmother used to stop to pull weeds out of flower beds she walked by...even ones that weren't hers.
Again you amaze me. I'm reminded of a line from a Helen Reddy Song. I am woman hear me roar. It's a shame the guy who flagged you down wasn't there to watch you clear that road...lol
I feel proud of you. I hope you took some home for the fire.
You are a world's wonder; or at the very least, God's gift to Michigan.
One should never underestimate the power of a determined woman. Especially one with a 16-inch bow saw.
Well done, Joan. Of course I wouldn't expect anything else from you.
Lin- yes, toilet innards are not really too mysterious.
Stew- gotta be
John- it was really easy
Gayle- I've been known to do this, but I try to refrain
Ann- Roooaaaaarrrrrr
John- no fires at my house
vanilla- depends on who you ask
Chuck- I think you live with one too... a determined woman (don't know about the bow saw)
Jean- I have that reputation to uphold
Yes, I do. And I'm glad.
