For two days now I have been trying to upload photos of my latest project to no avail. I'll keep trying, but meanwhile the news is that I have totally succumbed to a massive landscaping project and am rarely blogging. Obviously.

It's all part of the grand scheme to make the woods grandchild friendly between our house and the lake. I've just ordered a HONEYSUCKLE POPPER kit as well. BTW, the bugs are ferocious and I wear a net over my head. It gets really hot in there, but I still prefer it to bug dope. I have to wear long pants and long sleeves as well. pant pant pant...no pun intended.

My Gardening Pal
