The tulips and daffodils are nearing the end. I include this because you can tell I planted these at the very end when I was tired of planting bulbs and I made these trenches in between dahlias which were still around when I put the bulbs in last fall.
A few weeks ago I heard a faint beep at regular intervals. I have ridiculously good hearing which is amazing for the amount of time I spent listening to loud heavy metal music.
I asked Bob if he could hear it and once I pointed it out he could hear it to.
We figured it had to be one of the smoke detectors in the basement.
Can you spot the bee?
Since it was the basement of course we forgot about it until one night Bob was up in the middle of the night fretting about something and he heard the beep.
Once he heard the beep he couldn’t not hear the beep and he stomped downstairs to deal with it.
Except he couldn’t find it. He checked all the various detectors we have down there and I recently upgraded and replaced everything so I was surprised we were having a battery issue to begin with.
The beep continued.
He searched everywhere. He started opening boxes and checking in drawers.
He finally found it on a shelf in this weird, dusty, spider-filled alcove behind the fireplace. He was not amused.
So many years ago my dad and step-monster had this sonic thing to push away bugs. I and my step-sis could hear the beeps and my dad said we were nutz and never believed the two of us. My hearing too must be bad because of loud concerts but I still can hear faint things.
