While not the best photo I’ve ever took, this one amused me. I was in the yard last week and had to laugh when I saw the mushrooms coming up inbetween the bricks. I thought about shooting a picture from ground level and then remembered I would have to get back up off my knees. They were covered in white stuff last Sunday…it will be interesting to see if they survive.
Comments (2) about Too Much Rain
With all the rain we have had of late, the cedars “flagging”…otherwise known as dropping their needles…it should have come as no surpise to me that my gutters would become clogged. Isrrael, who takes care of my yard, has been out of town. I climbed up on the ladder, quickly determined I was too old for that sort of nonsense, and called one of the grandsons. He came and rescued me from overflowing gutters. Good thing…they are now full of snow…and it is starting to melt.
Comments about Cleaning Out the Gutter
When one of the grandsons called to tell me he wasn’t going to make it to Thanksgiving dinner, I was disappointed. He could tell, so invited me to stop by and see the job he was trying to get finished. He is a professional drywall hanger, finisher, etc., and is well thought of in his trade. I have to admit I had no idea what all was involved. This picture is of one of his helpers who has been running the primer machine. It was a 5,000 square foot house with a wonderful water view. I was impressed but I still think he works too much.
Comments (4) about Not an Alien
My daily post was premature..the snow on the ledges measures 8 inches. School has been canceled. One of the big trees in my mini forest broke off about 20 feet above the ground, took out part of the fence, landing on my neighbor’s roof. School has been canceled….my grandson thinks he is delighted…he is too young to understand “make-up days”. But Oliver the cat and I are tucked in and will deal with all of this another day.
