Spring is expensive in normal circumstances. There are flowers to purchase and plant and you have to refresh your mulch or stone. It's more expensive when it's your first spring in a new place and you have stuff you need done. Considering what we've spent on the...
I brought in all my flowers tonight... AGAIN. It's a brisk 44 degrees at 10:00 PM and will likely drop another 10 before morning. Sheesh! It sure doesn't feel like spring. The sunset this evening wasn't fabulous, but it wasn't too shabby either. Hummingbirds are back...
We have heating and air people coming here today. The mini split units (we have 6 inside) and the outside units (think heat pumps) have been total crap since we've been here. I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Best case scenario is that they need...
The last few days it's been in the 80s. Sadly, tomorrow night I'll have to bring my plants inside because temps are forecasted to plummet. We're enjoying the warm days while we can... My tulips still aren't blooming, but the snowball bushes have more little flowers...

Sitting at our respective computers, Perry said, "Check out the sky! It's pink!" I did. It was. There was some pink... but lots of other colors too. It was so pretty out that I sent those Pesky neighbors a text so they wouldn't miss it. I think it's ASNutiful here no...
We got the first time yard work completed! So much cleaning up and planting to do... but that will have to wait. At least the first big mow of the season is in the books. For the record, it took place yesterday on 4/4/23. Whacking weeds is dangerous business! After...
Warming up later today -- warm enough that I hope I can mow at least the front yard -- but more rain is expected tomorrow. Then it's going to turn colder. (It's only 40 degrees right now!). It will be the first mow of the season and the first few are always the worst....
I know... I know... I'm obsessed with horizons. Sunsets aren't so bad in Indiana either... Busy week ahead. If the contractor shows up when he's supposed to on Wednesday, this week is going to be rough. And I'm already dreading the upcoming weekend when Coco and Ben...
