Yup, that's what it is...fast food trash.
Oh yeah, all the old sticks are there, too. We had a big wet patch on the wallpaper last week, right where the wall switch is for the living room. Yikes!
I have water streaks over the entrance door in the room at the top of the stairs. Have not had any big rains since the wind/rain storm that ripped the roof off our high school gym and crushed the FFA greenhouses so I do not know if it was just from that storm blowin' in the wind or BIG problems.
We had a small amount of water come in around a heating register in the ceiling in a guest room during the HUGE rains (tornado watch/warning) last weekend. The roofer supposedly fixed that when he replaced the flat roof on our second house. ugh. Those were driving rains so it could be some tiny little hole or something. I HATE annoying roof leaks!!!
No trash to pick up here.. but we do have a winter's worth of labrador retreiver droppings to clean up
Also last year was a bumper crop for pine cones and they all came down this winter so there are more pine cones scattered around the yard now than all the other 10 years we've lived here put together. Not sure what the pine cone crop is a sign of, but something must have been different last year..
Did you see the PBS Nova docu on the 50 year bamboo fruit crop and the rats? Every 50 years the bamboo produces a fruit similar to a pinecone (same thing in essence) and the rats who normally eat some of their young each year due to lack of food start multiplying like crazy - somehow they know. (India) Anyway, all other food crops are destroyed as the rats overpopulate and their brood continue to feed ravishly and the villagers starve to death.swirt said:No trash to pick up here.. but we do have a winter's worth of labrador retreiver droppings to clean up

I'm always picking up after these yahoos that dump stuff on the City property adjacent to our house. grrrrrrrrrrr....
I do that around town, too. But we have trash cans on almost every block so it's easy.JunieBJones (JBJ) said:
Did you mention where in New England because you're describing my weather!I live in the northeast where we had a major ice storm in December. Thousands of limbs broke from the trees and littered the roads. My dh and I were able to move most of them from our property to the side of the road where the town will come to chip them (maybe? hopefully?). When they were covered with snow no one even noticed the huge white pile. But now that the snow has melted it's a holy eyesore! We've decided to wait until the end of March and if the town doesn't come by then we will do it ourselves. It really looks terrible with a 10' high X 100 ft. long pile of branches and sticks along our property. But, it's snowing right now so maybe they will be covered again for a while. You have to love this New England weather; 60 yesterday, snowing today!.
