PORCH PONDERINGS

A Real Mess - Continued

Okay for those of you that caught the drama yesterday, the saga continues.

And the mess behind me grows. Somehow, I am thinking the woman who claims she moved into this house may actually be living in the driveway.

Let's see, she has a stove, refrigerator, a table and chairs, a couch. a dining room table. a shelf unit. There is now also a microwave cart with dishes on it, wood pallets, tires, items in boxes. Earlier a truck pulled up with sheets of plywood in the back.

How do I know all this? I can see this from my garden, which I go to daily now to pick tomatoes. And while I am checking for tomatoes and doctoring my kale for little tiny flea beetles and picking potato bugs off my remaining potato plants, I can see the flea market pile growing beyond the alley behind this house.

But there is a deadline I can see coming. Rain. Rain from that Hilary storm that is threatening all of the SW of the United States. We actually had a wind storm yesterday into last night. Wind gusts up to 70 MPH were reported in the area. So if there is anything worse than junk in a yard, it's wet junk in your yard.

Perhaps some of you don't believe this. Perhaps I'll get photo evidence, Stay tuned,
