I am never ahead on the house stuff, but I am never too far behind, I just never can seem to catch up.
But my two porches are a different story. I never see the front porch until winter. It has so many plants on it, it looks more like a jungle photo from National Geographic in the Congo.
The side porch with all the bins of bird food, dog food, duck food, spider webs (leave them up for the hummingbirds to have webs for nest building) yea that's it....the dirt, dead weeds and grass the chickens scratch up onto the pad, the cart of tools of the day, trash bins, grill, dog toys and other junk that gets put there as a drop off point because someone is too lazy to carry it another 50 feet to the garage. You can see the porch swing but it would never enter your mind that it looks inviting or restful. The chickens hanging out waiting for the next victim to beg for a treat or the little roo's sitting on the kitchen window watching in to see what's going on inside...It is so bad some days you will find me sitting and relaxing on the porch of the chicken coop sipping my coffee. But you don't dare bring a snack unless you want to be mobbed and have it taken away. I think maybe there is something wrong when the chickens have a better porch to hang out on that you do.
I belong to the Shoot, Shovel, and Shut-up club. Then I would try again for another better model of wife like a Stepford one. OH and no kids! I have enough animals already and may want more of my own.
