Since I have a dog who is inclined to run off, I've fenced in the area around my deck. These days, that's as much of the outdoors as the dog ever sees. Since he's a dog, he does what dogs do while he's out there and we have to pick up regularly. I keep a rubbermaid trash can in the enclosure and that's where his deposits (bagged up) go.
Yesterday, we had some wind while I was barbecuing. At some point, it was strong enough to lift the lid off the 3-foot trash can and fling it over the fence and into the larger field where I was. I intended to pick it up but forgot until later when it was getting dark and I was already indoors. Since the wind had died down, I decided to wait until morning.
The wind must have picked back up because today... that lid is GONE. ^#$%! yet again. I may as well go look for it. It's sunny and a sultry 37° right now so I have no excuses.
BTW, a couple of days ago, someone's runaway pet was wandering around in my field. I tried to approach it but it strolled back to the street as I got near and I knew better than to chase it.
Only in the country. (Or maybe I'm being too presumptuous. Have any of you had a horse in your yard in the last week or two?)
