Sheesh...I put it off way too long (first mowing) and had planned to bundle up and mow today. It is now snowing the wind is blowing (I can hear the chimes clanging) and the temp is 34 degrees.

Looks like my yard is just going to have to be wooly for the Easter Weekend. Living rurally and back a ways from the road, it doesn't really make that much difference.

Its been so warm and rainy here, I did my third mowing earlier this week just before it got cold! Saw a couple of flakes here in Evansville, too. Going out to bundle up my plant babies now.

I don't feed or weed at all here. Subsequently most of what is taller is actually weeds, or the Star Grass, aka Star of Bethlehem, aka Flower from Hell....don't even get me started.

Sue...who thinks this is some good pie baking weather.
