A city boy will never learn everything a country boy knows by instinct. A country boy will learn everything a city boy knows in six months.–Bennett Cerf

I can’t believe how bad they are this year.  With 3 dogs coming in and out, these darn helicopters have invaded our house!

I was noticing this week they are forming on ours. It’s an annual plague. If I wasn’t so cheap I’d cut the thing down.

And by the way, the increase this year is due to global warming.

I wouldn’t be surprised at the global warming thing. Â
We had hardly any winter at all. Â One snowfall that didn’t amount to anything.
The guy we pay in advance to plow the street made out like a bandit. Â Almost $500 and he didn’t have to lose any sleep at all.

We have the cottonwoods that drop something that looks like catapillers, all over the yard & patio. They have to be picked up, because they’re too heavy to blow away.
