Weeds vs Grass

Why is it that weeds will grow on a friggin rock but grass won't grow even when you water it and tend to it??? It's a rhetorical question so please don't send me the scientific answer. Last evening around 8:30 it actually cooled down alittle and there was a slight breeze blowing. I forced myself to go out and pull weeds. At first the weeds were just pissing me off but the longer I worked the more chilled out I felt. It was kinda ZEN. And when I was done I felt superior to the weeds.

Things that make me go AHHH....

My hubbie left early this morning on another business trip. This means I get the remote control!!!! Plus, I do not have to answer "What do you want to do now?" And I tend to not shower as much!!!

Good ole Summertime

Just a picture of what's currently on my front porch. One flag is for us here in America and the other one is for my daughter and her hubby in the UK. I had another root canal performed yesterday. What fun!

HOTWIRED

On Sunday evening a LIVE electrical overhead power line broke for a reason unknown to me and the line was laying across a neighbor's yard (see burned bushes) and her driveway. It was hissing, popping, almost a screeching sound while it was making sparks and yellow/white flames and dancing around her driveway. Of course all the power in the "hood" was out for approx. 4 hours. The fire engines came, the power people eventually turned off the power to that line and then repaired it. It literally burned/melted about 2 inches into her driveway! The downside was horrid noxious white smoke for about 2 hours. Anyhow, that's my excitement!!!

New Tree

Our 2 old Birch trees died and after a HARD TOUGH job of removing them we replaced them with a Magnolia tree that is much smaller but hopefully will one day be glorious! You can see part of the Birch roots/stumps in the right corner of the picture.

Face Lift!!

No Botox for me, I will just get a new looking Blogger page layout!!! I have to thank HST for helping me because I am shit with that sort of thing! It is HOT where I live. So I am trying my hardest to stay indoors with air conditioning!!
