Once again, I'm posting twice in one night, so most folks will miss the first one, but I had a photo op. The water tower started "doing it" again. Sometimes, it just starts dumping water. Often for 20 minutes at a time! Tonight, it was less than 10 minutes, but very interesting.
After taking that picture, I headed across the street to the house and noticed that the hibiscus (sp) is taking over. Wonder if I should get rid of that one shoot, or if it would kill it? OK, probably wouldn't kill it, but should I dig it up? Cut it down? Leave it alone?
Then I snapped a pic of Kevin's truck. Damned if it doesn't look the right color. WHAT? OK, so my cheap camera doesn't white-balance well, but it's always orange, until I switch to night capture. Crap. From now on, I only capture that one at night!
I looked over at the neighbor's perfect yard and noticed how mine is FAR from perfect. I don't mind clover, but all the lawn service commercials I hear tell me that clover is evil. OK, if I want a perfect, well-manicured lawn, I gotta get rid of the clover, but that'll leave me bare dirt. OK, I'll look into it and start in fall. Fall is when you do these things, right?
My lawn is all clover, with a few dandilions thrown in for good measure. I guess I've come up with at least one question for each picture that I saved. Probably too many to be answered in a journal entry. Feel free to email me your brilliant suggestions on lawn care, photography, flower care, or journaling without going overboard. After all, brevity is the soul of wit. Look that one up...it's my favorite quote.

Let Mother Nature do her thing!! Who decides what plants are "weeds" anyway? I'm a Liberal Democrat on Oxycontin right now so maybe you shouldn't take advice from me. ;) I never use chemicals on my yard(s) and it makes the rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels & birds very happy. Be good to the Earth and you shall be rewarded with lots of rabbit porn on your property. Seriously. Don't they ever just feel like holding paws???

I like clover. It feels good when you walk on it barefoot! Cut the shoot.
Clover dies when the temp gets hot. At least it does around here.
Russ, my dear: I knew I could count on a comment from you when it came to killing clover. I must say I had a smirk on my face just THINKING about it as I typed it. I'm evil. Also, I spit Diet Coke on my monitor when I read "rabbit porn"! Too funny. You have to be one of my favorite buds from these parts.
We have all sorts of weeds in our yard, while the neighbors are all manicured, too. Hey, I"m just happy it's green....LOL
