I have been in the gutter today~ it wasn't pretty
had to clean the house gutters, that is.

Neighbor saw me and asked if I were creating flower boxes at the rooftop line.
There were frickin' WEEDS!!!11! growing in the gutters! Smelled like dead fish and pond algae.

We've had several weeks of off and on again rain.
Warm enough and nice enough today to get this dirty job done.


Feel free to accost me with your gutter language.



you know you want to.





Am off to mow the front and back lawns
(amazing what you WILL do when there are taxes to prepare :hide: )

1. LOL. Ran into a friend last night at the grocery store and that's what he had
been doing. However, when he lifted off the gutter guard, a very very pissed off momma squirrel launched herself at him .

He's lucky he didn't fall to his death.

Glad he's okay! Brave guy!

4. A hot bowl of soup is waitin'. A hot bowl of soup and a shave.
If you don't get out of that gutter, before the next big rain...

7. Hey, SPK!
Think about you often, and your darlin' boy, too!

Am doing okay. Still optimistic, and hoping I secure a new teaching position within the next few weeks.


Thanks for the offer!
Get you butt over here!
I could use some manliness around here! ;)
