Good morning, snowblower. Are you ready for a wonderful day?

It’s time for an oil change. Soon it’ll be time to play!

Happy December, Jiffy Melt. I see you’ve hardened into one giant lump.

Good afternoon, Standard Cover for Riding Mowers. Do you want to spread out in the shed?

Hello, outdoor water spigot. I’ll shut you off soon, but not until I’ve probably waited too long.

Bundle up, Weber Grill and sun-scorched wood holder. Winter is coming our way!

Good evening, world’s saddest garden. I gave up on you a year ago and it shows.

Ahoy there, yard cart… and hoses. What a nice day to curl up for some rest.

Now do your job Standard Cover and keep all the field mice away.

It costs so much money when mice build a nest in my engine.

Thanks for the backup, Tomcat Mouse Killer. They won’t make a fool of me twice.

Good night, shed shut with a padlock. We’ll see you again in the spring.

Sleep tight used “new to me” Nissan, parked backward like a boss.

Good night, irritating neighbor, driving on the wrong side of the road to check your mail. Every single night.

Good night, suburban home. Thank you for sharing a wonderful year.

Oooh, is that an Amazon box?
