When I was a kid, my pal and I had every sort of critter you can possibly imagine, but my buddy and I consistently used to joke that our home was more like a zoo than a typical suburban home, but at one time, my pal and I had five cats, three pets, a rabbit, reptiles, pigeons, hamsters, and god knows what else. My buddy and I also had to contend with all of these losses when the time came, which was less whimsical. That’s how my pal and I wound up with a viable graveyard on our home over the years. It was creepy, but nice to stay so close to all our best friends, but well, as an adult I have something similar going on these mornings, except it’s the remains of my long lost home appliances that populate my backyard. I assume I never knew what to do with broken down toasters, dishwashers, and A/C units, and somehow all the cleaning machinery and temperature control device wound up being a large landscape fixture over time. I look out back and see my seasoned heater, no longer pumping out hot air, but still collecting warmth from the pounding sun. A family of singing pigeons lives inside of the front panel of the heater, enjoying the convectional heat. Moving west, there’s my seasoned dehumidifier from university. I used to live in a basement, and had to use the air quality machinery to unfasten all the excess moisture from the air before I developed mildew in my bed again… Next, you see the prehistoric window A/C device from my first home. It housed a family of mice back in the afternoon, and spread their feces all over my home while pumping out cool air. I sure like to guess that the same family of mice has lived in the seasoned A/C all this time, producing current generations of cool critters and bringing current life to my graveyard.
