This winter, I had forgot to drain & coil up my long, long hose. I did have it disconnected from the outside faucet, so on a warm break, I stretched it out in the yard so it could drain. Then, it got very cold and I didn’t get it coiled up. We’re having such nice temperatures today, 64°, so I pulled on the hose and started coiling it up, when to my surprise the end had no coupling! It was gone and the end of the hose frayed.
I’m guessing what happened was that it got mowed off when the neighbor’s son-in-law mowed my yard the other day blowing grass and leaves away! Whee! No raking this year! LOL
I can’t hardly chew him out as he is so kind to mow my yard when he does his mother-in-laws, but I guess that will teach me not to leave things lay hap hazard in the yard! LOL I walked the yard, but did not see the other end. Oh, well, I can’t look a gift horse in the mouth. I need to be more careful in the future.
He came by later & confessed to mowing the hose…he just didn’t see it. He has offered to fix it for me some time.
He even offered
to (sometime) to fix my flag that is hanging by one end. I think a blustery wind tore it off. I've since taken the flag down and believe I'll just not fly a flag for now.
