I think you're right about the peonies. I had thought about giving my sad dark pink peony to my DD for several years. When I finally dug it up, I felt like I was ripping it out! Somebody had planted this due north of a big maple and so many of the roots were stuck in the tree roots. Still...

Sorry to tease without pictures, but when DD took our hike on Sunday we came upon numerous small stands of invasive bamboo. I'll ask her to send me the pictures.

Some stores are very knowledgeable and helpful, others...not so much. Menards is one of those places where you often have to help your Self. I have learned that you grab a clerk to ask where in the store something generally is, like materials for a clothes line, then you grab a clerk working in...

Last weekend we enjoyed feeding the little turtles at White Deer cabin in Carbondale. We had to walk down 14 steps made of pavers and double pavers and had to watch our steps, even with the solar lighting on the sides. When we were leaving All of the turtles said in chorus: Have a nice trip...

No, sweet @digitS' . I took it Home with me and enjoyed it for four.straight.hours.

We had our banana muffins and coffee down by the fire pit Monday morning. We, two, just threw some layers on top of our jim jams and went down the 14 steps to the firepit deck, which had 2 wrought iron chairs and table. If we go back I will bring my own wood. They leave a stack but every...

RHododendrons are really tough. Could be fungus but I wouldn't worry about it. I saw a 15 ft tall rhododendron on our Carbondale hike last Sunday. It is probably over 100 years old and NOBODY cares for it. They are understory trees, so if you or somebody else cut the tree that shaded it, it...

My Weeds are pretty... We three were gonna mow tomorrow. I don't think so. It's been steadily raining last night through today. We.are.soaked. Since I bought stuff for three good meals, I am hoping to persuade DD's to do inside sports at my house tomorrow. I bought them 2 more bags of weed and...

Earlier this week I attacked the south yard. I used my lopper to chop down all of the skinny saplings between the pine trees and fencing of neighbor's yard. I laid down my camo tarp, looking paltry with only 9' x 11', with 8 bricks to secure it. I straightened up what is left of leftovers...

On Saturday we tasted beer at a local brewery. DD bought me a ginormous Hefewezen. It took me 4 hours to drink it all.

Mowed the 1 acre.

We stopped at a winery, had lunch with Wine (Merlot for me, White something??? for DD,) and artichoke and spinach dip for an appetizer. I asked the server what wine goes best with salami. I took her recommendation. She was surprised that anybody would ask her opinion.

Had some car problems....later... We fed the turtles on the pond. Owner leaves turtles food and they Do look for you. We had had a fire earlier and noticed that 15 turtles had been sunning themselves on several logs. After some videos that we were watching I looked out and saw several Still...

From this weekend, our stay at White Tail cabin in Carbondale. We had morning coffee with banana nut muffins by the fireplace.
