oh my...who knew?

ok. First of all, this is what happens when you don't cut back pesky vines that encroach on your personal space: there's a wooden wind-chime thing in there somewhere...secondly, if you let it go long enough, the wasps are making nests up there, and of course you're all out of spray (and I'm sorry but we DO use wasp and hornet spray when necessary!)..,and if you look closely you can see one or two of the many nests at the top of the porch. And of course you can't pull the vines down until you take care of terrible things that will fly at you and sting you if you get on their little nerves...so you just don't get around to it..I mean, so what... it's summer, right? and plus we're busy! And then, you look up at the window in the living room that you never do look at, because you just never look over there. ha. This just made me laugh, I'm sorry. If THIS isn't late summer in the deep south, I don't know what IS.
right. spray is ready. now we have to wait till dusk to ambush the wasps. Guess I'll be taking care of this tomorrow...
