I think that exterior shutters give a house a “finished” look. Similar to a woman putting on a pair of earrings before she goes out of the house. A house just doesn’t look “done” without shutters. And the shutters have to be in good shape, or the whole house looks neglected. Our house needs new shutters. Larson Shutter Company sells a large variety of wood or vinyl shutters in large assortment of colors. They also sell some that are simply primed so that you can paint them the color of your choice. They also sell the hardware required to install them. They offer free shipping and ship nationwide.

Running over critters
I was reading someone else’s blog yesterday and noticed that she was upset that she had accidentally run over a snake, killing it. It made me think for a while about how many animals are run over by cars, and how so many people swerve to avoid squirrels; I wondered how many would swerve to avoide running over a snake versus how many would run over it on purpose, trying to kill it. I think that the vast majority of people hate snakes so much that they would run over it on purpose. I don’t like snakes myself, but I would not run over it on purpose.
