Home and Garden

You know I've been working all spring..planting and gardening and clearing and trying to get my yard in shape little by little. Seems nearly impossible to keep up on it. As soon as I get it lookin' pretty good...I get busy with other things and the weeds TAKE OVER...

We have a rule at our house...well, my wife's rule: If it's in the house, it dies. But outside I can convince her that spiders are cool and keep the bug population down!  I gotta tell ya, this one really freaked her out. It's one of those jumping, fast moving little buggers...

I read today that Jennifer Anniston is spending $60,000 to renovate her garage into a closet!
I've often thought about turning one of my spare bedrooms into a closet! But instead I shove all my clothes between all three bedroom closets...

I've been working really hard on my yard this year! I love flowers and beautiful things outside. More than inside even. But my yard is far from beautiful in anyone else's eye I'm sure. But, my neighbor...Geez! Her yard looks like it should be in 'Better Homes & Garden&apo…

I have a friend who just got his in the mail, and I'm ordering mine today!! Killing annoying bugs hasn't been this much fun since the hand held bug zapper that looks like a little tennis raquet (yes, those are way cool and work very well). But slapping a spider with the hand held bug zap…

I've been having so much fun planting this spring and watching things begin to grow and bloom. Most of my yard was nothing but weeds so it's been a LOT of work! Here are a few pics of what I've planted recently. I want to get a small pretty shade tree for the back to hover over the ho…

I've been a crazy person lately for gardening and composting etc. And today I was out of the studio for a few minutes, when I came back in I found a present! Check out the Video!
 These are the clips that keep it together:

So now that I have begun composting at my own home. I've become pretty excited about it. Seems everywhere I look I find myself thinking "Hmmm... I could nab that and put it in my compost pile!"

A little sore from yard work? It was a beautiful weekend and many of us were out workin' hard!. My arms and hands are blistered, and sore and my Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is in full swing!
I love a beautiful yard though and each year, I hope it gets a little better...

I could sure use a Porch Beautification! I bought a Gazebo last year, tried to anchor it to a concrete pad, and it still blew down in the wind and it's a big mess in my yard!
Would be nice to have a makeover! There are all kids of cool things up for Bid right now...

I'm pretty sure my friends might think Buttermilk reminds them a little of me when I'm in an extra good mood, or I've had a few too many cups of coffee or a few beers!
This is such a funny video!

Lots of people are starting their Spring Yard Cleanup! Lots of times that means plenty of trips to the local landfill.
So just in case you need help with that.

Richland Landfill

Good luck and Happy Cleanup...
