The ivy carnage was not pretty. A little, empty nest fell out of the shrubbery while I was pulling at some ivy to pull it off the shrubs. Luckily the nest was not recently lived in, but someone had carefully selected a section of hedge that had a plastic bag stuck in it, and built the nest on top of that. Meanwhile the red tail hawk patrolled the neighborhood, the crows kept tags on the hawk, and I tried to ignore the neighborhood rock band that was crucifying something by Midnight Oil.
Methinks if there is ever a sunny day on a weekend, I will be spending them attacking more ivy in the hedge. Crossed fingers that we can maybe get the jump on it and manage to get in a day of mowing too.
And on a topical note, Happy Thanksgiving! I may not get to see all my family and friends this holiday, but I’m thinking of all of you.
