Gutter Getters OR The Case of the Mysteriously Clean Gutters

This morning I heard a weird scratching, tapping noise that sounded like it was coming from the roof. "Squirrels again," I thought to myself.

I went outside and looked down...my clean porch and steps were covered in decaying leaves and other debris! I had been after my husband for nearly a YEAR to clean out the gutters.

As I walked out I looked up. All of the sudden, with scratching and flapping, a flock of juvenile robins few away from the roof. My only guess is that the leaves had decomposed enough that red worms and insects were living in the debris, and the robins that that they found a smorgasbord.

Thank you, kind robins. You did something for me that my husband refused to do. Now if I can just find a gorilla to build the hand railings in front and step in back, a beaver to cut wood for the firepit, and some other animal to clean up the mess that he left in the garden from re-roofing the sunroom! Who needs a man????
