I guess it just comes with the territory. I wonder if you can put a "diaper" on your furniture and railing, ie a clear plastic cover. Then you can remove it when you want to sit out and hose it off. Then get that glass of iced tea, and all of you can listen to NPR. (I love Prairie Home Companion, myself)

Did I tell you about one year Moi called me to look out the window..."Quick!! It's an exotic bird!!!" I rushed over and there it was...sitting on the garden fence...an American Robin! LOLOLOL For some reason, we rarely see on here in the southeast. So..........I wonder which "south" they fly to in the winter?! (I guess that is for another thread)

Anyway......enjoy them!
