To plants that is, though #1 son looks as though he could use one too. Been trimming back the lemon balm and the irises. Also cutting back the spent resurrection lilies' leaves and tulips, daffodils, too. Looks much better. Gives breathing room and sunshine to the other plants around them. Also gave the oregano/marjoram a haircut. Wow! what a difference that made. Looks like I'll be busy transplanting some of the irises from the bed around the LP tank. Too many in there and wasn't many blooms there this spring. (I get to make some new beds!) Put down some wet newspaper on the path in my little garden with the herbs/flowers/a few veggies in it. I had put in a path a couple of years ago and meant to put down something to keep the weeds from growing. It keeps little feet from running through the plants to get to the other side (never mind going around!). Anyway, after I put down wet newspaper, I put the remaining mulch down that I got for my birthday. Hubby said it looked like we need more. :) The county repaved the road/lane in front of our house. Been sneezing all morning. Allergic to the tar??? Looks nice, but it won't for long. I'd rather have gravel, though it does pick up dust. Oh, well. Newly paved roads, regardless of where they end up, seem to attract speeders. Group of boys in a hot rod car went speeding down the road two days ago, blaring the horn. Must have gone all the way back to the creek and had to turn around. (There is a sign telling anyone that the road has no outlet.) Flipped me off on their way back. Makes me so mad and furious, esp. since I have little ones around...

Aurora	Jun 27, 2008 \| 10:13 AM PST Reminds me that I need to prune the wisterias and catmints. Our road used to be a dragstrip. A few calls to the police stopped that :) One kid just this year ran over our mailbox- while my son was in the tire swing 10 ft away. A friend 1 block away heard me cussing that kid out blush, but if came from the other direction he could've hit my son!
yardgranny6	Jun 27, 2008 \| 1:39 PM PST Place a fake monitoring box in a visible spot from the road, paint it bright yellow, post a sign that your yard is being monitored and speeders will be caught and the tape sent to the police. Of course it might be easier to carry a camera around with you and get a pix of their license plate. They do need to be stopped for your families safety and theirs as well. So a call to the police might do the trick. Think of the surprised faces when they find a cop at that dead end. ^O^
countrylane	Jun 28, 2008 \| 11:06 AM PST The 14 years that we have lived there, we have placed many calls to the police, for everything from drunk drivers to a drug bust. Things have gotten better, but since we're on an out of the way road out in the country, they won't place a cop out here. If I see these delinquents out again at our place, I'm going to have to do something about it, like the yellow box or scary signs or maybe a scarecrow that looks like a person with a shotgun by his side, with a big snarly dog by his other side. :) When they repaved the road, they did no sweeping, scraping or anything to prepare the road, they just paved. Asphalt allergy??? (Never heard of it, but, hey!) Last edited by countrylane on June 28th at 11:08 AM.
