Thanks. My wife works hard to have a decent yard. It may not compare to some, but we started with an abandoned yard that had nothing but boxwoods for decoration and some abandoned flower beds in the front of the house. I am proud of what she has accomplished.

The container plants were hit hard by an ice storm about 2 mos ago, or so. There is some life coming back in them finally. There is one that still appears to be dead, but even the two meyers lemons are doing better than ever.

My wife’s main focus this year is a bed that I cleaned out some ragged azelias and some other srubs. She planted 2 hydrangeas, and I’m not sure what else. This bed is in the forbidden zone, where I can’t access it to photo it since I wrecked my scooter getting to that area last summer.

Speaking of Scooter, after supper tonight, we walked the pups down to the creek bridge that overflowed last week in the flooding. There was lots of sand washed up around the edges of the bridge and approach. I got stuck in the sand and blew a fuse. Wife had to walk home to get her car and rope to tow me home... I’m glad nobody witnessed that bit of humiliation. LOL

Rightly, look what I did with cattle panels.

Okay, I'm lying.
