It seems we have had some night visitors. Since the air-conditioning is on during the summer, we don’t hear what’s going on outside, but DH had a tale to tell when he came in today.
\nWe have a storm moving in tonight, so DH decided to get as much mowing done as possible before dinner. We have quite a large yard, so he was only able to do part of it. As he was mowing, he found some evidence that “people” have been using our front lawn to “party” at night.
\nFirst, there were tire tracks through a section of my driveway garden which is down for renovation. A small to mid-size car might be able to drive through that area leaving the drive and traveling across the lawn. He felt they had parked behind a pod of lilacs that would have shielded them from the road. Secondly, they left used rubbers behind.
\nDH thought they may have visited several times before they came with the car. Of course, we think it’s likely that kids from one of the new neighborhoods to our east or west have found us. I’m going to have to put stakes in the garden to discourage them from passing through again. We’re going to use black plastic to do a solar burn off of that portion of the bed, and they won’t be able to see that at night. Maybe I should put up a scarecrow in the center!
\nWe were talking about this as I fixed dinner. DH said we should take an empty disposable camera one night, sneak up on them and click the flash. Actually….that sounds like a fine thing to be doing at 1:00 in the morning. *G* Have you any better suggestions??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
