Hi Peeps,

Crystal you are a regular work-horse. The weeds will always be there, but they get less and less as you work them. Thank goodness you are getting in there in May and not July. By July, they are beyond any control. If the weeds are com

Hi Peeps,

Wow, the grass is like a green carpet everywhere. That rain made everything pop. Spring is such a gift after all the cold we had. My lilies are coming in everywhere. I need to get out there and clean up a bit.

Hi Peeps,

It's so good to see a blue sky after the wet storms yesterday. The window of the food hut yesterday had sheets of rain slapping us in the face as we tried to take care of customers. It was so hot in that hut yesterday, I found myself

Hi Peeps,

Happy Wednesday. I am the ant exterminator today. Every year at this time baby ants appear around my sink area, so i am determined to get rid of them permanently for the season. I know what to do. They hate essential oils, so i need t
