03-12-09 Thur

Well, I guess this is my monthly Blog posting. Facebook is getting more attention since I found contacts with several old Mesquite PD friends and high school friends. I have been communicating with people I have not seen since graduation in 1963 or retirement in 1992. I am very glad to notice that very few need constant nursing care.

I decided Tuesday that several limbs and leaf clogs in the creek needed to be removed before the rain started. Climbed down into the bottom with my hoe and pulled a large clump of wet leaves out of the way. A cottonmouth about way-too-long wiggled out of the leaves near my feet. It suddenly dawned on me that the expected rain would move all the debris from the creek & I was, therefore, just wasting my time. The reptile went west and I went east and up the embankment. I made it out much quicker than usual, imagine that!!

Now the rain is falling. The new grass seeds and grass mulch we spread is growing fast. We have found several interesting shrubs and trees in the woods and have transplanted them to spots near the bridge. We actually have green grass growing where only brown leaves had been before. Even the end of the street has new plantings and more will be coming after the rain.

That's it for now. Later. Bye!!

Maybe you should have a soil test done now to see if the ground is still fit for growing. You may have some new slick spots.
