Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
Mr. Rogers would agree. Today is a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Yesterday, I cut my grass for the first time this season. I am totally grateful that my mower started up with just a few pulls of the cord. I had envisioned struggling to get it going, so the lack of that struggle is a very good thing. My grass does look nice, and I did like getting out in the brisk yet sunny weather. Still, cutting the lawn is my least favorite chore. My back grass needs help. There is hardly any grass. It is mainly groundcovers. I'm afraid I'll have to resort to some type of weed and feed stuff to get it back to a more grassy state as I do think the grass will look better than what is happening right now. More to come on this later, I'm sure. I'm on a quest today to find all the parts needed to convert my old wine barrel into a rain barrel. Garden Maven Colleen and her brother, my son, gave me the barrel for my birthday with the intension of converting it. It is surprising to me that stores in this area do not carry conversion kits or complete rain barrel kits. I have to go explore various hardware departments at the local home center store.
