351 PoSts..

This is my 351th post since I started last year in February..my how time flys...Yesterday was spent cleaning house doing laundry, putting laundry away going to my neigbhors house across the street and torching all of her dandilions heads that went to seed with my trusty weed burner..you can find these on Amazon...they are a god send for anyone who doesn't want to be on their hands and knees or has a bad back..they have alittle propane tank on the end and you can kill your weeds this way...just becareful with the dry dead stuff and tamp it out or have a hose nearby...don't want to burn the place down do ya? that was 30 minutes well spent..hopefully no more dandilions in my yard..went up the whole street in vicinity to my house torching them...tired of my house being the only one that is well cared for..oh don't get me started...then onto the next door neighbors house where I spent an hour sweating and pulling weeds..I took out 2 huge piles and left them there and then came home and emailed her letting her know I was done doing their yardwork that my rate is $20 an hour which is a great deal around here cause they charge 30 or more an hour..I don't know why she never does this side of the yard..but I am tired of always being out in my yard slaving away for 8 hours and nothing is being done at her home..I was nice in the email..but to the point as I am getting to old to be doing everyone elses yard work and busting my butt for 15 years to make our home beautiful only to have some not care how theirs look..I take pride in whats mine..always have.. inside and out...so we shall see if it falls on deaf ears again...I have said things in the past that have fallen on deaf ears..well I am getting tired of it..we are also going to have our maple trees removed as we don't want the mess and work they entil..not getting any younger and I hate to have mess and disarray in my yard..hoping to convince them to remove the 2 that are on the property line inbetween our homes..will see..anyway..I feel better now that that work is done...and I am not sure how could have missed those weeds some where 3 feet tall...last night the rain came in and boy did it get cold..but not cold enough for a fire..I think we are done for the season till October or November..and we even had wood to spare...we by those big deli logs on a pallette from the hardware store or fireplace store..whichever has the better price and they stack so nicely..but we also have real wood as a spare...I am making some room/linen sprays now to add to my list of things to sell...yesterday I made the labels and they were so much fun to do...the scents I have to offer are: Snuggle baby, which smells like baby powder..love it.., Fresh N Clean, which smell like clean laundry... Ocean Mist, smells light and clean and Clothesline Fresh..that is my favorite..you can spritz these on wet clothes and toss in the dryer or to hang on your clothesline..and you can just spritz these in the air to just clean..They are in 8oz bottles and are $8+shipping.. Iam also going to start some fathers day projects little machine embroidered samplers with sayings just right for fathers day..they will be pillows and or framed...will post photos as I get them done...finished my little witch sampler last night and am now starting another sampler this is big it is a checkerboard with pumpkins and is americana..will post photos of whatcha workin on Wednesday...
Well that is it for me..have a wonderful tuesday everyone..:>)
