Default It SEEMED Like a Good Idea at the Time ...

OFF TOPIC ALERT:
Well, here is an example of what seemed like an excellent idea that (at the moment) has gone horribly wrong.
Last year I waited with great anticipation for my grapes to ripen. The moment arrived ... and so did a ridiculously huge flock of birds. In an hour they were gone.
This year I thought I was ready. The minute I saw a few purple ones I gathered up some lovely blue and purple netting from my stash ... and voila! A gorgeous and colorful bird net to protect my precious grapes!
Some of them were actually shrieking and dive bombing us as we put it up.
Ha ha, birds! You lose!
Or so I thought ...
Today I discovered that the stinkers were going up underneath and feasting away. And much to my horror some are now stuck in there! So I seem to have a lovely bird aviary.
