Children are simply amazing. Especially when it comes to doing anything outdoors. Our granddaughter will be four years old soon and she loves to be outside with us.

When the grass is ready to mow she tells me about it then mows the yard with me on the riding lawn mower. Of course, I drive the mower and s...

We've had a great year for rain, especially after the drought of the last two years. Here it is almost mid-July and I've only watered twice and that was just to start new plants.

It also gives new life to weeds, even noxious weeds, like Dalmatian Toadflax. When it didn't come up at the expected time of the year, I thought I...
