A few weeks ago Grand Junction experienced some serious wind. On those days, my rain gutter tore loose from the fascia and most of it was flapping around in the wind on my roof. I wrote in an earlier post about that grand adventure.

The next weekend my brother and my father came by the house and helped me take that thing down. Before that could be done, I had to undo all that fancy rope work and those beautiful square knots and half hitches (or at least my version of a half hitch).

Until I can get to the dump or I can con a handyman into fixing it and replacing some fascia, the rain gutter is, and will remain, a yard ornament.

Nice, huh? I’m sure my neighbors love me.

This is my first attempt at writing to the blog on my iPhone. I’m using an Apple wireless keyboard, and it works great. All that remains to be seen is how the blog actually looks from the computer.

I can edit later.

Happy Friday, all!
