Just to offset all the political posts I've made lately....



Saw my very special little grandbaby on Friday and Saturday...what a joy
she is. How did I ever live without her? She's 9 months old this week.

** Does she have any of your Leif Errickson look about her ?


Found a pine snake

***Thanks for not killing



I also plan to move 5 azaleas to a new bed where they will receive more
sun. With all the rain lately, I suspect I'll be mowing again by the end
of the week.

Where you live, Azaleas should be so thick rooted and dug in that this could 
be your biggest job,,,ugg...



I really want to start my next big project, a tire tread edging for the
garden area and a few other places, but I doubt I'll get to that this

This sounds like a great idea, one suggestion in that vein.  If you ever see 
a 'office setting'  type business that is going out of business and selling 
the furnishings, sometimes you can find very thick translucensent office 
mats.  They come in many different sizes and can be cut down with a draw 
knife of some sort.  It wouldn't last as long as tires, but if you could find 
some, it would be a lot easier to cut enough to fit your space.  They usually 
are at giveaway prices, used.

. The Arkansas
Black tree is loaded, but they aren't ready yet. I have no idea of what
to do with those..maybe eat as much as we can and make applesauce with
the rest? That would be quick and easy.

Out here, people run ads on Craigslist , offering to buy fresh fruit and 
vegetables.....bf
