I got up early this morning and went outside to the very brisk pre-Autumn air and did some work on the house.
First off, I used some of that spray insulation foam to seal up a few holes in the north side window frames. They'll probably have to be replaced sometime next year, but this will do for now (those darn woodpeckers!). I also attempted to seal up some holes in the garage (those darn chipmunks!)
Then I got really ambitious and got out my new extension ladder and some gloves and a big plastic scoop and I cleaned out my gutters. Yuck. Black, wet, smelly decaying leaves and dirt and those gross earwig beetle things -- ACK! But I wanted to get them all cleaned out before I put the new gutter covers on before the leaves start falling from the trees. And I got it done! Whoo-hoo.
Oh, and I drained out my hose and put that all away, too.
Upon checking my email when I got back inside, my friend Glenn had sent me a song from their wedding. Funny entertaining stuff. Thanks, Glenn.
