Slowly Improving


We finally finished screen door installation tonight. It turned out great! However, we are painfully, inexplicably slow. I would say we put in 8 man hours on this door and we are totally not perfectionists. I suppose we both have a healthy fear of messing up and having to call in a professional or replace something expensive. And maybe if we install another screen door ever, it will go faster. But not that much faster.
I must mention this, though the photo evidence did not turn out. We had a water activity for the primary on Monday. It was supposed to be on Sunday, but it was super cold, so we moved it. Anyway, for said activity, I filled billions of water balloons. The easiest place to do this is sitting on the front steps using the spigot that comes from the house. As I began the filler became clogged with some unspeakable things. Like a yellow thing wrapped in cottony stuff with a raisin like thing on the inside. About six of these came out much to my disgust and dismay. This is culinary water, not irrigation. Last year all sorts of leaves came out of this same spigot. We called the city and they said hmmmm, don't know, maybe something is putting the leaves up there.
So my question is-what is putting these alien seed pods up into my spigot!!! Is it a creature of some sort, an insane neighbor. I don't know but I am totally grossed out and curious at the same time.
