It’s All Coming Together
What a great season here on Stauffer Avenue. The vegetables are up and I mentioned to Dennis that I can’t wait for a fresh salad. He reminded me that the packages of seeds stated anywhere from 52 to 67 days to maturity. Bummer.
Last fall we went to the farm fertilizer plant and got the good stuff for the lawns. My brother swears by it and I can tell you, our lawns have never looked better. As luck would have it there was some left over and Dennis went over the flower gardens before the weather got cold last fall. I will tell you there are some awesome looking perennials out there.
In the past years I would be sad when one morning I would go for my morning walk with coffee in hand and see the hostas had been some bug’s snack. This year I am keeping my sprayer ready with Bug Be Gone and I hope I can keep ahead of the little buggers and they will have to get their daily food allotment elsewhere.
Alright, I will admit, I have one sprayer with Bug Be Gone, one with Weed Be Gone, and the third with Round Up. I know what many of you are thinking . . . “chemicals!” So be it. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I don’t use hair spray. I do have a very healthy life as the spraying is not done 24/7. In fact, the fumes of all the semi trucks going past our home as we are on a detour route is far more damaging. I think my little acre here on Stauffer Avenue and the enjoyment we get from having a sweet inviting home for the two of us speaks volumes. To each their own.
