We had an exciting day on Saturday morning.. Unfortunately my daughter wasnt up with her camera to record it. I was out back between the table and the lower wall, checking on some seeds. Still in my robe and fuzzy slippers. My son decided to to come up into the backyard in the area beyone the table, and head to the right up over the bank. He was hauling an old car on a trailer ,and was going to load some more of his junk on it from out back and take it to the junk yard. My son is a car/truck addict.lol. You can barely see the mary-go-round in the upper right side of this shot. He got as far as the car/trailer being behind the merry-go-round, and I suddenly heard the strap break, and seen the car roll off the trailer and heading down towards me and the house. It was curving towards the grill. I wasnt sure which way to run, couldnt move fast with the loose fuzzy slippers (thats my excuse anyway). But didnt manage to get about 3 feet away from where the grill was shoved this way towards the front of the pic. Anyway the car rolled off the top retaining wall backwards, still curving towards the grill, over the second (lower) retaining wall, and ended up where the grill is sitting. Luckily upright and didnt run into the house. Did slight damage to a few stones on the edge of the wall, broke a little angel statue I had, and cracked a plastic chair. Luckily it didnt end up in the house.Where it made a path thru the Lemon Balm, things smelled really good for awhile,lol. There is a gate to the yard on the far left, and it was JUST wide enough to push the little car thru, so didnt have to dismantle it. Seed collecting can be hazardous to your health,lol Tammy
