Day 2: I woke up early for this?
This tree was SUPPOSED to be gone today. The guy who was SUPPOSED to take it down was SUPPOSED to be here at 9 AM. At 10:30, I called the number on the invoice to find out what was going on. He called me back at 11 AM explaining that one of his trucks was broken, and he had been trying to fix it. Um, hello? Aren't you SUPPOSED to call a customer when you are two hours later than scheduled, and don't have any immediate plans of showing up in the near future?
He didn't know if he'd be able to repair it...and said if he did fix it, he'd try to take down the tree this afternoon. Approximately what time? Oh, he doesn't know...he will call me from the tractor dealer when he finds out if he can fix it today. Meanwhile, I'm stuck at home waiting to hear from him.
Fantastic!
I was playing with my camera in the backyard today and I noticed a lot of these bugs congregating and procreating in my yard. I mean a LOT. They are all over the side of my house by one window over the garden. One of the plants must be attracting them. Well, they seem to be having a grand old time having little bug orgies all over the wall. Anybody know what they are, and if they're bad to have around? Their beady little red devil eyes freak me out!

I never thought I'd see the day that you become a pornographer.
In Utah where I used to live they were called Box Elder Bugs. We used to have thousands of them on our house and the nearby trees. They would climb in under the window screen get caught between that and the window and die - I'd have to open the window and ShopVac out cups of dead ones... So glad I don't live there with them anymore! (btw - I'm looking for your post on Muslin backdrops, haven't found it yet...)
