So there is this crazy lady in our neighborhood, you know the type, there is one in every neighborhood. She allows her dog to poop in everyone's yard and doesn't pick it up. Although, one time we did see her use a stick to smear it around in a neighbor's yard. Yeah. Weird. Well, I have literally caught her and her nasty dog in our yard, (we're talking 6 feet from our house) glared at her, and walked inside. I thought this would do the trick, so I didn't actually say something to her. My mistake. This has all changed since the devastating death of a precious flower that appeared in our yard. I took this picture yesterday. YESTERDAY.
And now for today's delightful find. You can see in the picture below the feces that was left and the sign I created to combat future occurrences.
Everyone talks about the joys of home ownership. I'm pretty sure this isn't one of them.
P.S. Bart said if this doesn't work we can fight fire with fire (or poop with poop) and just throw Turkey Leg's diapers in her yard. Pretty sure he will create way more ammunition than that weirdo dog.
It’s Hot!
By Shel Silverstein
It’s hot!
I can’t get cool,
I’ve drunk a quart of lemonade,
I think I’ll take my shoes off
And sit around in the shade.
It’s hot!
My back is sticky,
The sweat rolls down my chin.
I think I’ll take my clothes off
And sit around in my skin.
It’s hot!
I’ve tried with ‘lectric fans,
And pools and ice cream cones.
I think I’ll take my skin off
And sit around in my bones.
It’s still hot!
In addition to planning for our baby, we have had quite a busy spring due to Bart being such an awesome scientist. This past weekend we were able to go to Philadelphia and attend Bart's official graduation and hooding ceremonies. It was really fun to go back and see our friends and the places we used to live. It was also a good opportunity to close out that chapter of our lives. We took several other pictures and I got some videos, but for now I will leave you with a few teasers of Bart in his robe getting hooded by his advisor Drew.
In other exciting news, Bart got the bound copy of his dissertation in book form! You'll have to ask him what it's like to be a published author.
