Garden garb and musical accompaniment

By CATHERINE IDZERDA ( Contact )   Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 8:39 p.m.

Over the weekend, garden witnessed the first view of the Tall Man's legs.

The Tall Man's preferred garb is a ball cap, t-shirt, jeans and work boots. It was a shock to see a his white legs gangling out of a pair of cutoff jeans.

My garden outfits are uninteresting, except for a a wide brimmed hat that protects my face and neck from the sun.

This attempt to myself to protect myself from skin cancer causes great hilarity. When the Tall Man sees me in the hat, he usually bursts into song: "The hills are aliveeee with the sound of muuuuuusssic!"

When he exposed himself--or rather his legs--to the beans and his spouse, I knew I should burst into song. But what to sing? The Dukes of Hazard theme? They weren't preciously Daisy Duke shorts.

Any ideas? Also, what do you sing in the garden?

Today's ad lib: Cathy's beans look fabulous. My (fill in the blank) looks fabulous.

Keep it clean, people

Cathy, how did you get any work done in the garden with those legs exposed?

How about a little play on the ZZ Top classic "he's got legs, and he knows how to use them."
