There is a nice garden in the front of the house that is mostly filled with perennials I will keep. The rest of the house was overgrown with every kind of weed that grows in Northern New York State and they have had the entire year to grow and cultivate.

Devin went out last week and bought a Gas Powered Weed-Waker to help do the job. Of course he bought one like he bought his T.V.... Devin Sized! This thing looks quit normal in his hands, but it is longer than I am tall... In other words, in his hands it almost looks like a toy; in my hands: I look like the toy!!! ;)

So there I was, whacking and hacking, hacking and whacking; desperately trying to cut my way through six feet of brush and rocks along the side of the house... (by now my arms have gone from fatigued to numb) I was moving like a robot hoping to finish up before it got dark or rained simply because I was doing yard work.
Then, as I'm buzzing hard into some stubborn tree/weed; I see EYE's pEEking back at me!
BARRRRAP! OH NO!!! It's a baby Rabbit!
I LEAPED back and stumbled over the brush dropping the Waker on the ground...
Crap! I killed it!
What? ...it's still there staring at me just the way it was before and it hasn't moved?
Oh Man! It's Plastic! The eye's are glass!

I stopped for the night. No need to worry about the rain as it was getting dark by then anyway.
When you stop in to see us say "Hello!" to my new friend waiting for you at the front door.
I think I'm gonna name him "Gleebie". He is Homie after all!
