Before & After

 Before:

After:

This is how we spent our Sunday Morning!

3 1/2 hours later, we picked up 10 1/2 bags

of shredded maple leaves and pine.  2 pickle 

buckets off the roofs of the house and shed.

Before I got time to vac up the front yard

and what has blown in from the east after 

our last storm.  I vac up 1 full bag from the 

front.

Why did I post this?   Here is the photo of the 

new lawn that was put in fall of 2023. Now 

compare it with the above photo.  Yes, 

neighboring trees can damage your property!

It is so good to see our yard back!

There Will Be A Change To My Blog.

Time for a change here! 

After being here for the past

11 years it was time to cut back

on the posts to what most folks

are looking for.

Enjoy!

The blog was cut back due to the

court case.  We are currently trying

to bring is all back.

 Sometime today we hit 77,000.

Another Morning of Rain!

 This morning I had to make a early

run to the Court House!  I just love the

friendly security folks and setting off

their security machine.  Let's just say

its a high light, but the lady behind me

set it off louder!!  She just chuckled as

she said she does this daily!  You meet 

the nicest folks there!  As you leave they

even wish you a good day!  I was asked 

why the mask?   Covid, Flue and Allergies,

I need to stay healthy  Isn't it cancer month

so the pink one is worn.

Got my business done as it was sprinkling

on the way back to the vehicle.  I came home

instead of running errors, I'll wait until the storm

blow past. We dropped 13 degrees cooler from 

yesterday!  So glad I have the yard 80% cut 

back and tucked away!

Yesterday I shared these photos with a few

folks as they asked what I do.  

These are the hardy plants that can deal

with outside weathering during the winter 

months.  As you can see they are in pots 

and may need some added protection.

This greenhouse is our tropical house,

where we keep the temps warmer due 

to what is inside.   We also have some

new cuttings for next year season.

My favorite Brug House, where they winter

and more cuttings can be found.  This year I

ran out of space in the Tropical house so we

will have to see how it goes.  I love to sit in

here during the winter months, my happy 

place!

If you don't have a greenhouse and love

plants it's hard to understand.  The passion

to create new varieties of plants that no one

else has is the goal. 

There is more to gardening than buying a 

plant at the local gardening center.

Watch the temps as they begin to drop!

This evening we had to rescue a Hummer

that couldn't find it's way out.  It was enjoying

all the bloomers!

Nice Day For A Walk!!

 Took Sable down to the water front 

for a walk and some fresh air.  We 

parked down by City Hall and when

we returned we had 45 minutes left 

on the meter.  A car pulled up next 

to us and I got out and asked the 

lady if she would just wait a minute

she could have my extra time. She 

smiled and asked if I was sure?  Yes

I was headed home and didn't want 

it to go to waste.  As we drove off 

she was parking in the spot.  Just love 

paying it forward.  When we parked

I noticed the car next to us was flashing

so I put a quarter in the meter.

We can home and I started working 

on the last of the perennial Hibiscus.

Just down to 3!!  Hand is a little sore

this evening, so back to exercising it.
