     “Hey Milly----your gutters are overflowing,” said Fred, Milly’s next door neighbor.

     “Yes I know----and it is ruining my Daffys," answered Milly.

      “Would you be a sweet heart and figure out why,” she pleaded with him?

      “OK---but it will cost you,” he winked.

      Fred went to his garage and got out his ladder and set it up against the gutter.  When he got to the top of the ladder, Milly called up to him, “What do you see?”

     “Rabbits,” answered Fred.

     “What the heck are rabbits doing in my gutter,” asked Milly in disbelief?

     “Sleeping,” answered Fred.

     “What the heck are they doing sleeping in the gutter, asked Milly in even more disbelief?

     “Clogging your gutter,” answered Fred.

Clogged gutters

Kathryn, this house had all kinds of kids toys in the gutters----like some big kids were maybe being mean to little kids and threw the stuff up there.  There was even stuff in the second story gutters that could not have gotten there by dropping them out a window

Cindy, the same way pigs fly:)

Lenn, you are welcome---glad to have you stop by

Hi Fred, By Spring had that Pink Rabbit multiplied, Milly would have been in for one colorful Easter, not to mention the clogged gutters. I have no idea how one rabbit multiplies but they sure did around here. Maybe it's the diet, my yard ! LMAO.

Charlie,

I find lots of stuff like that in the gutters. You wonder if residents always wondered where that item went.

I would recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed, certified, qualified, and highly trained professional to repair that gutter problem.

I accidentally kept that link when I linked to someone on my next post.  I am sure a lot of people now know who Harvey the Rabbit is.
