Chores. We all have these necessities of life. The dishwasher needs to be loaded, unloaded and the dishes put away. The carpets need vacuuming. The toilet bowl doesn't clean itself, unfortunately. And if you're a pet owner, keeping the house fresh and clean has an extra set of challenges added in! Most of these we just take in stride as being something that has to be done, but for some of us there is that one chore that we hold in contempt. It is the kite eating tree to our Charlie Brown.
For me, it's leaves. I absolutely hate leaves in the fall. They start falling and just don't seem to stop. I seem to spend most of the fall raking and bagging leaves! When we moved here the only thing about this house that made me even consider not buying it was the number of trees in the yard! Why not hire someone to do it, you ask? I actually did that once, but found that supervising the process was actually worse than doing it myself, because I was constantly pointing out things that were missed. You have to get behind the hedges, too, you know!!
So, what's your kite eating tree?
