Getting Started..

So, I guess i need to explain why i would begin this blog. This need to fix yards and landscape where ever i go, has crept up over the years. It may have begun in my classroom, where i change the room, the decorations, and wall coverings for every holiday and season. The curriculum themes changed along with the settings. I could see how we all set in more comfortably when we 'matched'..when everyone had their own space, when colors, and important items were arranged to best highlight their assets. I also began to notice when other teachers were not making those changes..I wanted to help take down 'apples' in time for Halloween...no turkeys after December first. You get the picture....no pink in winter, no red and green in spring..

Because our family moved often, and now have a small rental business, my job was the landscaping. My husband and daughter helped with the larger jobs, but i maintained the flowers, lawns, shrubs, trees, and WEEDS! I wanted our yards to match the seasons; the tulips to be up the first of spring..the trees blossom, the perennials bloom, the leaves turn...all synchronized with the season, with no time expended in between. In particular, i was vigilant about the weeds, the dead heads on the flowers, and the grass growing where it.did.not.belong!
