Good day, all!

Yesterday I had the technician come out and tune up my lawn mower and give it a new belt and blade. So today I'm planning to mow. And, as always, run the line trimmer until the battery and my back run out of juice. It's supposed to rain, but it was also supposed to rain yesterday but we had beautiful sun and 70+ F degrees all day long. So far this a.m. it doesn't look like rain yet. Hopefully I can get some work done before the sky opens.

Good mornooning, roommates! Where did everyone disappear to last night? Secret dandelion fields protected from tort owners by a formidable fence? The news cast about another royal baby and the misplaced Starbucks cup?

Here’s my next installment of photos.

G’day All...

I’m baaaaaaaack from the big kayak adventure to North Carolina’s Outer Banks and The Emerald Isle.

We had massive rainstorms here at home. The rain, coupled with warming temps really encouraged everything to grow. Although I was only away for three full days, the garden and grass look like they need two weeks of trimming.

Sun is up - time to get going.

Have a great day all.

By ‘grass trimming’ you mean a quick walk of Sully’s around the garden, right? ;)

Good morning or evening!
We have rain all week. It’s kinda slowing me down. I’m supposed to be clearing junk from the yard and around tortoise enclosure because the guy is coming Monday to grade the property and help me build the perimeter of the new tort yard.
My husband has been traveling so much and he doesn’t have time to do it because it has to be done in like two days. Plus, he has a pinched nerve and had outpatient surgery to hell relieve it so he can’t do too much hard labor.
I also want to preserve some plants that are in the enclosure. I guess the rain will help me loosen the soil.

Its that time of year. I had drop the riding mower off for some work.. just wouldn’t start:-(. Also had to do lots of “line trimming” this weekend.. all of the rain really pushed up the greenery. I may have to get a push mower for Torettos yard. I don’t think he will be able to keep up. He has taken to coming out earlier and staying out later. He steadily grazes now but I dont think he’s quite big enough to handle the job yet:)

Ha! I had that same thought about a push mower a few years back. So I bought one. It isn't nearly as easy as people make it look. I tried using it one time then put it in the back of the shed where it sits to this day.

Looks like lots of roommates are having overgrown yards today. I live in an apartment, so for me it’s hard to grassp...

I have been to my physio/osteo and had my head yanked, my back cracked and then some weird very gentle, but quite painful at times stuff around my knees. All finished off with acupuncture... more pins than I have ever had before... starting in the middle of my forehead and ending by my big toes with a load around my knee caps.

Acupuncture is very odd at times. You lie back relax and feel things move of their own free will. Both knees feel considerably better after this session. Let’s hope it lasts

I have had some lunch and a much needed cup of tea and must now go and tackle the grass while it is dry. Not see you later :)
I am so glad that your knees are feeling better.
