Pigeon Killers

My dad would be so proud of my newfound hobby...that's right, killing pigeons! Rich and I have become the ultimate hunters. I think the count so far is 4 down, 8 more to go. Last week we removed three trees from the backyard that were too close to the foundation. The pigeon poop on my patio since this time has decreased but the annoying little beasts are still living on my roof. With the help of the BB guns that Rich was glad to purchase...one by one, they are going down.

I had no problem killing them, but picking them up was another story... I had to pick two dead ones up and dispose of them before our garbage pick up.

I have found that the best time to seek them out is at night when they least expect it. They have learned quickly the sound of the BB gun pumps, so the day time killing has dwindled significantly.

And So Summer Begins...

This is my skeleton, Mr. Bones, all dressed up and ready for a night on the town! I had these students who decided to dress him up, but the only clothes we had for him to wear was an old CMU Phi Sig sweatshirt. Natalie and Genesee quite enjoyed playing in the store room after school, this is where they found my one armed, and head falling off skeleton. Thought these would be fun to share with you!
Summer has officially started, although I am teaching summer school and still working periodically at the restaurant, so it doesn't really feel like summer. I've been spending lots of time by my pool and working on the house. Rich helped cut down some of the trees in the backyard so we could remove them more easily. To tell you the truth, I think he's done more actual work on the house than me!

I'm going to be spending the remainder of the summer getting ready for running my school's ASB (student council), hosting a visitor (mom), and taking a few little trips with Rich. More to come soon...
