My last blog was kinda sappy and made too many people sad so I'm moving on to the here and now. Today Bryce (our 18 year old son home from college and preparing for his mission. He just had his wisdom tooth out and is home recovering. Our idea of recovery is yard work. He can't wait to go to his city job on Monday!) was trimming the huge hedge out front and found this water bottle partially full of a dark yellow unidentified liquid hidden deep inside the bush. Ewwww. After using tongs to extract it I took a this picture.
I have several ideas about what this mysterious liquid might be but my mind tends to go right to the most morose scenario. And I'm way too grossed out to actually unscrew the lid and smell it or anything. It is obviously not just old bottled water. So maybe like Nancy Drew I'll try to gather information from the many suspects out there. I do have boys and know that often they hate to stop what they're doing to come inside to use the facilities when nature calls - but i doubt a water bottle would have been a necessary receptacle in that instance. So if any of you have any theories, ideas - or confessions - please post them here. Thanks for your help in solving the Mystery of the hidden water bottle containing yellow liquid.

This is Danny...I know what you are thinking...and it wasn't me!!!! Did Bryce really just 'find' it there. Sounds like a Murder in The Dark technique!
Well, I have an accusation. I remember hearing a lot about Spencer's activities in the backyard last summer:) You've got to be brave and smell it....just so you know for sure.
Whoa - wait a second here. Where do you females come up with this tortured tale? Boys don't need water bottles. Right guys? We are all simply baffled at even the suggestion. We prefer the term recycle.
I'm ashamed to admit my first thought (sorry, Danny). It was quickly dismissed. Spencer crossed my mind too, but he could barely hit the bush. A water bottle is beyond his coordination. On reflection, I have to agree with Steve. Why would any man go in a bottle? I think someone put lemonade powder in it and forgot about it.
