It was a fairly productive day. I got a few things done, and Lloyd – well, Lloyd was on fire today! He cleaned the gutters and figured out how that bird got in our house. I felt the need to tell the story through a movie, as is my way. Enjoy, and happy Sunday.

Brad says
It looks like the wire mesh was cut away. Could the birds be learning how to use tools? Or is it the bats who are developing engineering skills? Be afraid.
Deanne says
Bravo!!! clap, clap, clap!
Kitt says
Sweet! So nice to have a handy (and brave) companion around.
Beth says
Were you scared out of your mind to be up there Lloyd? I remember climbing up on the roof of our old house to hang Christmas lights (just a regular ol’ one story ranch house) and I was breathing funny with fear the whole time…
Were you doing that? Because, I mean, your heart and all…
Lloyd says
I’ve never been concerned about heights, but every once in a while I worried about falling. The only trick is going from the ladder to the roof. That’s always tricky.
Beth says
I suspect Lauren was worrying enough for both of you, right? 😀
Lauren says
God answered my prayers directly. I heard a voice from heaven that said, “Quit bugging me already. He’ll be fine.”
Beth says
I’m glad you heard me. I told God I didn’t know if my voice would carry quite that far, but I’d give it a shot.
Lauren says
Ha!
Annette says
You so need a roof top deck….by the 4th of July!
Lloyd says
shhhh, Lauren doesn’t know about the RTD.
Karla says
Hmmm, a rooftop deck seems a lot like the rooftop seating they have at Wrigley field… 😉
(It all comes back to either the Cubs or Seinfeld.)
Beth says
Or Monty Python?
Karla says
Of course! 🙂
Kathryn Peperkorn says
that was great. I love your blog. If have decided that the thing I love most is that at least in your blog you are exactly as you were 20 years ago!! ( I am sorry I actually wrote this number) Anyway I useualy don’t comment because I am afraid of computers and all technowledy (ha) but I decided to be brave today. Well ,\ back to opera and children, which are strangely similar!! Kathryn
Lauren says
Hooray! Don’t fret about writing that number -- I’m always accidentally adding a zero onto things0. (Dang it. If you read this earlier, it said that I was Lloyd. I’m not!)
Karla says
I see you left out the picture of Lloyd’s legs sticking out of the chimney. Good idea. That probably would have scared people.
Lauren's mom says
GREAT! I love ALL of the videos.
Lauren says
And don’t you love having a spiffy iMac to watch them on? 🙂
