The weather finally warmed up enough that Simone and hubby managed to get some serious gardening work done. Plants were planted, grass was cut, mulch got piled around plants... It was a busy weekend indeed.
In the midst of all that activity however, Simone noticed a pile of bird droppings on the ledge and floor of their deck.
"Black birds," Simone's hubby declared solemnly, pointing to a small bird with black plumage chasing after a squirrel. "They're sleeping on our deck."
Simone devised a serious plan of action, involving the purchase of an owl statue to put the fear of predators into the little hearts of would-be deck roosters. Hubby took care of the immediate problem of bird poop by dragging the hose over the deck so he could spray the ... stuff ... off the deck. The dog followed hubby's endeavour with great interest.
"Would you stay out of my way?" an exasperated hubby told the dog.
Clearly misunderstanding hubby's question for "Would you stay and play?" the dog crouched and wagged his tail in a friendly fashion. Since the dog was crouched precisely in the line of fire, hubby shrugged and sprayed the dog in the face. The dog shook his head and... went back at the stream of water now pouring past him. He repeatedly tried to bite the water and got, as a result, the very first shower of his life...
