Garden on the forest edge.

Oh no!!

Actually, I do the same thing and have to be very careful which direction I lean the rake. Most tools are right beside the garage door and my big feet don't always take me precisely where I need to go.

If you lay the rake on flat ground - always, always, always, turn it with tines down!

"Step on the same rake" - a Russian figure of speech. It means to make the same mistake repeatedly. In fact, in real life, I have never stepped on the rake (as opposed to my sons).
This is similar to, if I read " Banana oil ".
I would have thought it was oil from banana, strange food. But it's slang, meaning "nonsense."

 

[digitS']

Oooooo

An idiom exposed my idiotic behavior .

Be careful Larisa. I have journeyman skills applying banana oil.

[Larisa]

Steve! You are irresistible!
(Irresistible - literally in Russian - so beautiful that not even reflected in the mirror)
(But this does not mean that you can not see yourself in the mirror)

 

[Smart Red]

Careful, Larisa. Not being reflected in the mirror would be a sign of Steve being a Vampire. Of course, it is said that they are also irresistible.

More banana oil or has Larisa 'read' digitS' deeper than we know?

 

[Larisa]

Yes, I know these vampires. These 1.4 of my city. Next to them is difficult even to stand and chat with them kills.

Luckily, @digitS' is not like them.
Therefore, the second meaning of the word "compelling" for him - "the charm that is difficult to resist."

Thank you, @Smart Red ! I printed out your words and hang on the refrigerator magnet.
The problem is that I do it every spring once.

I step on the same rake.

OUCH, I have also stepped on the rake, it was leaning against the wall with tines up. I stepped on them and the rake sprang up and hit me in the ear/side of head. OUCH.

 

[Smart Red]

Irresistible (ie. compelling). Yup! That's our digitS' to a T.

While spring waving hand from afar, I talk a little about the garden animals.
This lady just looks nice, in fact, it may be aggressive. When I make a bed of soft ground for planting, toads quickly find it and bury oneself in the ground. Expel it out hard. She tries to make false attacks battle!

This snake vice versa. Some people are afraid of snakes, but Natrix natrix (уж) harmless creature. Sometimes I go down the path and see how multiple head snakes peering at me from the firewood. They are very much in our garden. They lay their eggs in the old cow manure. But my youngest son sometimes think that snakes are not enough. So secretly it brings out the woods yet eggs. Well, he thinks secretly.
If once crawl black snake without yellow spots, I will know that this is a poisonous snake.

Probably, these snakes have only one enemy in nature. This stork. But storks not fly in the garden. They fly over him and sit down in a field.

Green lizard - the laziest creatures. they crawl slowly. If they do not like something, they may hiss.

Brown and gray lizard very nimble. They're everywhere! Sometimes they get into the house. When a lot of them, they are similar to the runes.

Sometimes I wish that now we can not keep pets. When I was a child, my grandmother kept chickens and rabbits. One day, she cooked dinner, and when I started to eat, she said: "Good?" I replied that "yes." But then she said that it was of our rabbits. I remember that I was at a speed of bullets flew into the street, because I was sick. I could never eat our animals.
This reminds me «Alice's adventures in wonderland» by Lewis Carroll.
Alice, it's pudding.
Pudding, this is Alice.
Now you become acquainted, and you can not eat it. Сarry away pudding!
