Sexton, I'm sorry that happened to you but what a blessing that the young man was so helpful!
I finished scrubbing the smushed grasshopper remains off the front of my car. I hope it doesn't collect many, if any, more this year. It's hard to believe but we're still having some die hards hopping around. Even more strange, I have a baby grasshopper inside my house, on a curtain. It's been there for a few days. I decided to leave it and see how long it lasts. A baby grasshopper this time of year is a mystery to me.
I also did some vacuuming and other cleanup, and washed up some laundry. The plumber is coming tomorrow to fix the drain pipe (probably needs cleaning out) and where it leaks into the central air condensate pipe. Also a couple of other leaks in the house. He told me last week he'd come tomorrow and he actually called me late today to say he'll be here at 11:00 tomorrow. I think I'm in shock. I've never had anybody follow up and communicate before--for anything!
