Dam Ice!

I can't write today because -- although we've never attempted such a rash and foolish thing before -- we actually cleaned the gutters this fall. Or gutter, I should say, since this back bit is the only part of the house that actually has one. But we cleaned it. Twice! I did it, and then later Johnny did it, too. Johnny even did the old lady's house next door while he was at it.

And what did we get for our homeowner diligence and all-around good-neighbor-ness?

The next-door gutters are icicle-free, though.

So that's something.
