Jack and Jill went up one, they're alive in the Sound of Music, and there's a fool on one too, if you remember that last song. It was written by Paul McCartney, about a man who appears to be a fool but is in fact quite wise. Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 recorded the most well known "cover," that's the version I remember.
That fool could very well be me, trying to tackle Hydrangea Hill between rain showers a few days ago. It's time to cut back our 80+ hydrangeas and 30+ roses here at Struan Farm, weather permitting.
"Weather permitting" being the operative phrase. My supervisor kept coming by and tut-tutting, but I kept at it until the trailer was full and the downpour rather steady. A wise woman does know when to call it a day.
