Seriously, as a kid I knew that everyone had to clean the inside of their houses, but it was never made known to me that the outside would need tending. (Actually, it was probably made known but I was busy daydreaming.)
The cobwebs are becoming embarrassing. A couple of weeks ago a large praying mantis was stuck (alive) in some cobwebs out back and I freaked out. I made Sick Lloyd come outside and try and help it. It did not work.
Today I embraced the shame and cleaned some of the cobwebs off the windows, throwing the washcloth away when done.
