This morning Lynette found this wasp nest. She was scared and I don't blame her. The way she described it at first, I thought there was something terribly wrong with the house. I wondered if something like part of the roof had caved in.     You can see the wasps going into and coming out of the nest. This looks like a very scary and unhappy face.

Installing this motion detector security light over the garage is as easy as changing a light bulb.  But not for me. Frank the handyman estimated the job to cost about $100 if there were no problems.  He wound up charging me $75.  What an honest man.  He also took away a rotting wooden swing and patched a banister while he was here, no extra charge! This part of the house has two windows that are hidden from view.  I was able to put this light in myself.  There's no wiring. You just position it and plug it in. This bright light operates with a motion detector.  It m...

Here are a few I've heard of: He was on the horns of an enema. I can assert the truth of it, without fear of contraception. Enfield Cinema - Sinfield Enema Nooks  & Crannies - Crooks and Nannies Horse drawn carriage - Horse drawn cabbage. Soldiers go to war - Shoulders only shrug. The street is called Juble Early Drive named after the Civil War general. Not Surly Gerbil Drive She wanted to fry her kitchen. It's safer to fry your chicken. Brooklyn was hit with a tomato. Much safer than being hit with a tornado. Grand Union Station Not Grand Onion Station She failed her addition. I hope she won't also fail the audition.
