Jingle Bells, Batman Smells......
Dec. 7th, 2016 10:52 am"Winter Is Coming";>! Bout frikk'n time. Tomorrow(unless the front moves faster than expected) I'll be "dragg'n" in all the (sub)tropical into the shedto protect them from Freezing. It's only supposed to be Freezing for a couple days which means I'll be "dragg'n" them back out by the 1st of next week. BLAUGH!
My Persimmon has finished dropping it's Apricot-coloured leaves...always a good sign of Fall LITERALLY ending;>! My Spring bulbs are all planted as are the Hardy Annuals that'll germinate and grow slowly during the warmer days to burst into flower in Spring or early Summer.
Discovered much to my disgust that I was right about the source of the gutter "waterfall"...the downspout for that section is in my neighbor's yard and is PLUGGED. I can reach from the to[p of a ladder to it's gutter drain but it's too packed for me to get much out AND using a dryer duct cleaning tool couldn't either. I'm going to have to ask him to either do it himself or let me go into his yard and dismantle the "s" section where the majority of the plug probably IS. I HATE dealing with neighbors about such things. So many take it as accusation of poor maintenance instead of just crap that just happens. Oh well.
Cheers,
Pat
