Curious to see snow drops announcing themselves in the garden. Surprised to see I’ve been tanked.
The snow hasn’t been melting in my backyard as fast as I’d like it too, perhaps I’m too impatient,
or a little hosta about the whole situation
either way, I’ll keep my Tulips sealed
“Quick, grab a bench and put it under me, I’m about to weaken at the knee.”
(earlier last week in conversation)
The installer: “This is a good location for the tank.”
Me: “Why would you put something so ugly in a garden?”
The installer: “Mam, we can hide it behind the bushes no one will even know it’s there.”
Me: “Right, as ladies round the garden for the tea room they won’t see the tank?”
The installer: “We can put the tank anywhere as long as it is code.”
Me: “Alright then it’s settled, put it in the neighbours yard and run the line underground”
As Violet Crawley would say from Downton Abbey, “I doubt Mr Travis has much of an eye for fashion.”
I’m going to cringe each time someone enters the garden. Can you picture this monstrosity? I can’t imagine this being my worst sight, but it is. How will I ever hide this over-sized marshmallow?
devastated by what I see with my glasses on ~OO~ Grandma

Nice to see the snowdrops in bloom! As for the tank? What about building a lattice fence around it and planting tall flowers in front. You just need to leave space for the gas man to get in to fill it. Are you allowed to paint it? I’d paint it the same colour as the house if you can, so it will blend in more. Maybe check with Mr. Travis first to see if all of that would be legal. 🙂 You must be enjoying your new gas stove though. Pam
Mom isn’t it Marlow (sp?) that paints all these ugly tanks and makes them something amazing?
I know you’ll come up with a way to hide that .. or incorporate it somehow. Can’t wait to see what you do!
I might just leave it for the time being. I have other fish to fry at this time.
