<\/p>\nIt’s nearly lawn mowing season in upstate New York. Last year, I noticed the person who mows our lawn skipped a big swath in our back yard. He left a message for my husband: he couldn’t mow the back of the lawn because it was covered in broken glass.<\/p>\n
We went out to investigate. Wow. Here are a few photos of what we found.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It looked as if an entire window had been shattered in our grass. We checked our house to make sure every window was in place. Same with our garage. We asked ourselves if someone would just carry in a window and break it on our property as a form of vandalism. As we donned our gardening gloves to pluck the shards we continued to look around.<\/p>\n
Then I spotted it. One our neighbors’ attic windows blew out and somehow flew sideways to land in our lawn. Weird. It had to have flown like a Frisbee to end up where it did.<\/p>\n

I called the property owner and left a message. She thanked me for letting her know, but she never asked me how I knew. I thought that was weird, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
