I'm a'scared of ladders, too. They put my feet too far off the ground. Pretty scary. Heck, I own 3 ladders and even when they are laying on the ground I walk a wide berth around them. (Fear of stubbing toes, maybe?)

Why, I'll never forget the time I was on a 12 foot stepladder pickin' Willowleaf butterbeans in November. The winter winds kicked in and caused me to jiggle with one foot, balance on the other, pick beans with my right hand while holding my bean bucket with my left hand. My own voice interrupted this solitudinal moment with a scream and a holler and reminded me "these beans can wait another day" or told me "stay off ladders when dealing with tall plant life".

Yeh, Sharon...you better hire a tall hair stylist to trim Figaro's coiffure! (<--- And that's the first time I've ever used that word! :>()
