Stepped outside to get my mail and came across a sight. An outdoor bin I use for trash and outdoor odds and ends tipped over in the night and sent trash around my yard and part of the neighbor's yard. I didn't lose the whole bin, thank goodness, but enough got out I did the neighborly thing and cleaned up. Fair enough.
What I struggled to figure out was the plethora of Nerf darts in my yard. I don't own any Nerf guns and the only children who live in the vicinity don't either. Still, Nerf darts were strewn from my mailbox to my backyard.
Most likely kids messing about, but the fact my house was the "chosen one" doesn't make me a happy camper.
My day's off to a fun start!
