REENIE'S REACH

I am feeling my arthritis this evening. I’m prepping my home for people who are renting it for graduation next weekend. I am vacating Tuesday evening so am close to deadline. Ordinarily the preparation would be typical housework stuff with the addition of putting together a welcoming goodie basket with wine and juices and snacks and baked items, and yum-yums in general etc. (It's the least I can do - I get $375 a night.) The glitch in the routine is that the pesky Robin I wrote about last week managed to make a major mess. Below are some pics of the carnage as well as my bird-friendly deterrents: soaped windows and draped sheets. Good God. My house looked like an Irish Wake. After a few days of mourning *sigh* the bird flew off to terrorize someone else. In the meantime, I’ve also ordered some scary rubbery snakes to coil around the porches. Most likely I’ll be the only one frightened. *sigh*

Anyway, my arthritis is kicking up because I crawled around a lot today while scrubbing my porches. Just because of one measly bird!

Everything looks beautiful now. Yay! Below are the pics.

Doesn't he look sweet

Pooping on the rail *sigh*

Pooping on the chair *sigh*

One of the windows I draped

Soaped windows #1

Soaped windows #2

A small portion of the carnage *sigh*

Back to normal!
