Getting My Mind Out of the Gutter

Yes, I know the title is misleading, but I am amused anyway. We are of course talking about our home’s rain gutters.

I cannot believe just how many nests have been made in them this year! Today Hubbin is cleaning them out and I’m spotting him on the ladder. Yep, I’m the ‘gofer’ girl; I’m there for the “get me…” and the “I just need…” until this job is done. It isn’t raining (the soothsayers, I mean weather people, lied), nor is it 100 plus degrees out, so today is the day. No pictures will be taken because I’m not going up the ladder. I’ll be happy when it’s done, and then perhaps the rain’s drainage in my yard will go where it’s supposed to after this, instead of flooding my whole back yard.

I guess we’ll see how effective we were when it actually rains again.
