There are some evil folks here! But I guess I did ask.:smile:
Hopefully it wasn't Poison Ivy! Oh wait, that's what I weed!

Worked on the flower beds last weekend, raising them up another foot. Started clearing out a back section and will be growing strawberries this year. I didn't want them up front next to the tomatoes and peppers.
 
My Apologies...

Well, it's not my backyard technically. :cool:

For a week

IT'S MY FRONTYARD!!!

My task is to find the elusive "Pencilfish.":bananen_smilies039:

Well then enjoy yourself, never did understand the baking on the sand thing and going in salt water! But if that's what you enjoy make the most of it!:island::beer::bananen_smilies027::smile-big:

We MIGHT get to 45 today. Still 3 feet of snow across the yard both front and back. Hope that spring comes early but won't believe it till it is here.

With any luck we will see some melting this week but not enough for me to get back to work.
 
Well here we go again 4"/8" from midnight Tuesday till Wednesday afternoon. And as in the past couple of storms the Ohio valley is getting its butt handed to them again!
:clown:
 
Today is supposed to hit the highest temp this year so far, 78 but tomorrow snow and down to 16. not any snow to amount to anything but going from 78 to 16 degrees in 24 hours is tough...

Storm track has shifted north ward again so now the NOAA and weather channel are going into PTPM (panic the people mode) how stupid is naming snow storms!:rolleyes: So now 6/10" in lower Mich.

Got the man eater fixed new link and adjusted the auger so it doesn't grind the concrete! Got to love those HF Honda clone engines $99.00 less the 20% coupons. should get another 50 years out of it!

Just in case it get deep
:clown:
 
So far since the start of this storm(called Vulcan) by the shrinking talking heads at the weather channel!:rolleyes:
About 5"s and doesn't look like it stop @ 11:00am like they were talking about!
:clown:
 
High of 65 yesterday, 61 today, then after 1pm today it will start cooling off with the lows tonight around 10 to 12 degrees. Then in upper 20s with a low in the upper teens. Then back in mid 50s after that.

My backyard still has raised garden beds strewn about that need to be placed and filled, but it's a little too windy to take my two year old outside. It is sunny and 69 degrees with a low tonight of 45, but the wind is 30 mph gusting to over 40.

Best of luck to all of those that are getting hammered by the winter weather...again.
 
In Friendswood, Tx, bright sunny, about 65.
Here is the first bluebonnet of the spring from 2/21.
I should be in the shop; but, need to work taxes.
A pen to show though.

This was in a neighbor's back yard this afternoon...captured from our deck (they're downhill from us). There's a lake below that tree in the picture and that's why his focus was on....

GRANITE ?????

Love that stuff......make my living engraving it. Will post some pictures something.
Today the High is 25 with a 15mph wind. Cloudy and still have almost a foot of snow in the front yard. They are calling for more snow (and rain) this next week.

Let the sun shine .... Let the sun shine in.....etc.

Decomposed granite is used for desert landscaping in AZ. Mine is "golden Granite".

You need a 'feature' piece of granite on all that gravel. I understand the reason for crushed granite but it looks so 'plain' to me. A nice granite bench or bird bath or even just a carved rock tend to give something different looking.

I am just curious.......what is the "white fence" on the back left of the picture?
