Every time I walk outside from the patio to the yard, I pass this:It freaks me out every darned time. This is what it actually is.
It just catches the corner of my eye, and for all it's worth, looks like something it's not. I would never have bought something that looked like a snake!
I have been "maturing" some acorn tops, walnut shells and leaves for about 3 months. It was happening, much to Frank's dislike, in a tupperware piece sitting on the bathroom countertop. It was time to brew something up.
I had a half yard of Ecology Cloth ready to stew. I poured my goop, as Frank says, over the cloth and rolled it back up in the tupperware. Because I own McGee, I put it outside the fene in front of the garage door. I went to lunch with Ann. When I pulled up in the driveway, 3 squirrels ran off with several nuts. They had turned over my container spilling its contents down the driveway.
So I moved it to where only McGee can get it, DiNozzo will keep those pesky squirrels away!You would think it would be stinking by now, but I think the tannins have kept it preserved. My hands smell woody, nice actually. And it is encouraging that the driveway is stained!
A precious bundle indeed - like a fine wine just gets better with age. Kind of like us, don't cha think?
ReplyDeleteAnything that looks like a snake would cause me a mild heart attack every time I'd encounter. I don't think you need to subject yourself to that! Have him cover it with something. (He can figure out what to use.) I can just see squirrels scampering off with your nuts! Can I assume the rest of goop was safe and you didn't need to brew up more?
ReplyDeleteA few days ago, I went out the front door and wondered "how did that black hose get in the azalea bush?" So see, when you actually see a snake, you think its something else!
