I Identify As A Redneck….

I was trimming small branches off of a Rose of Sharon tree and dropped my hand pruners back between the bottom of the tree and the fence. There was some leaves and vines there so I didn’t want to stick my hand down to retrieve them thinking that a snake could be hiding under that mess. I got my rake and tried to rake the mess out but the space wasn’t wide enough. I needed those pruners so I decided to try a tube sock with a strong magnet inside and dangle it down to the pruners. Went & got the sock and magnet and sure enough it worked quickly. Still need to get that mess out from behind the tree though. Then I got a window screen on the sun room window that I couldn’t fit back into the window. It has some type of side springs on one side that bulge out and I can’t figure out how to flatten them both to get the screen in. Got my roll of Alien Tape and cut two small chunks and attached the screen on one side to the window frame after sliding the other side into the slot…then used Duck tape to seal the tiny gap at the top to keep another Yellow Jacket from getting inside. Gorilla Tape, Duck Tape, Magnet In A Tube Sock, Yep I’m a Redneck. I also keep Krazy Glue and Wire Coat Hangers handy for repairs.

@DoubleRings there are little side branches that die every year that have to be cut or snapped off, that’s a job just by itself. Vines that grow up into them some originating from neighbor’s yards, it’s hard to get them out..we have some type of vine that gets as thick as your thumb when it grows long enough and if it rains it seems to grow as fast as kudzu. There is a lot of green wooded areas out past the lake and those vines can create a canopy joining tree tops together. Then there are leaves blown in the bottom of the Rose of Sharons and they have to be removed, and it’s hard when it’s planted right up next to a fence, harder when it’s in the corner of a fence like this one.

@cherokeepatti I seriously don’t know why anyone would want it on their property. I’m living at someone’s house and that’s the only reason I help out with it.

@DoubleRings I didn’t plant them here, they were already here and smaller 20 years ago than now. They will bloom most of the summer, I guess that’s why people like them.

@cherokeepatti I’d set fire to it all if it were my house. The people who live here normally are elderly. they must pay people to do it for them when it’s not us living here.
