Flip flops and T-shirts to heavy duty winter coats

One extreme than another. Yesterday while I was wandering garden sections in stores, wearing flip flops and a french cut shirt with jeans, made me feel like I NEEDED to plant something, do a spring project. I felt literally released from the winter blues. Then… Whamo! The temps dropped, it rained and froze and then out came the long johns and Carhearts again.”We will survive…” and all that.

With little “bugs” that make one miserable hanging on and on, this needs some watching and attention. I have been hit twice, so please have those so called colds checked out.  I just got a taste of spring though, so now Ladies and Gents, it’s time to start making plans for your yard, home and garden! I’m so exited for spring to begin, but in the mean time, I’m glad for my long johns and big time heavy duty coats!

I don’t know what I would do without the snow gear type coats and leggings, also full suits. I hate the cold and snow. At least I’m somewhat warm enough for me to venture out, so it says it all. Ya’ll keep warm and safe.

Finally Spring

It’s going to be a good day when I wake up. At 12:00 am it turned Spring. It seems like even though we had a mild winter, that Spring was teasing us when it got unseasonably nearly really, warm.

Today I did inventory of my yard. What I knew what would come up, and where. What I needed to move and transplant them in their new homes. It was good to get out and not be cold, as it was 82 degrees outside today.

Now comes Spring cleaning and making new spaces. Time for lots of home improvements and self improvements also. At least in my case.

Reseeding a tough spot

Plans have been set about seeding a bad bald spot, that is right in front of the porch. It’s not like a walk path. Grass just never grew there. I had tried everything. I never give up when it comes to growing things. Last year I found a bag of grass seed, for shade or moderate sun. The name is American, I keep trying to figure out where I got my last years bags for the back yard where the old pool was.

This stuff, if anyone can find it, and need a tough but soft grass, also light traffic, and it’s a lush emerald green. It actually makes me want to landscape and start from scratch with this brand. I just wish I knew what store I bought it at. I keep thinking Kmart. It comes in in a white bag, and it just has American in blue printed on the front. Nothing fancy and it only cost about 2.98 for ten lbs. Judging by the way it’s come up in the past, it proves that beauty doesn’t have to be expensive. Also, delvers what the package says. I like getting what is promised when buying items. I’ve always wanted to be a test person and reviewer for merchandise. I think it would be a riot and so cool!
