Good Friday morning to everyone. Hope this finds you doin well. The weather has finally broke and it is supposed to be beautiful today. ;D I am soo glad too. Today is bill paying day. I would rather take a beatin as do that, but its gotta be done. Woooohooooo...Ky won. I was cheering for Eastern cause they were the underdog. But not by much, lol. I thought there for a while there might be a chance. We are keeping up with it here at home. Got the lil bracket thingys printed off and just guessed who was gonna win. So far I think I got 4 wrong. Figures tho, lol.I had LSU beating UAB. Missed that one and I missed Alabama too. Thought sure they would win at least this one. I would love to see it come down to KY and Louisville. Dont think that will happen tho. Well, guess I am outta here for a bit. You all enjoy this day and stay safe. Have a gooden...

Good Morning everyone. Nice outside. Saw this morning that they are giving rain. Dont know how much. I been looking at the clouds and they are so pretty. Its gettin about the time of year for the bad storms. We usually have several. I heard the frogs last nite and my granny always said that they get run back in 3 times before it finally stays warm. I have a lil spruce tree that I bought at Walmart forever and a day ago. It has new growth on it and I need to set it out. Reckon it would hurt it if I did now? I dont know. It definitly needs set out tho cause it is gettin too big for the pot it is in. I know this probably sounds funny, lol. But my grass needs cut. It is shaggy looking right now and there are some places where it is dead. Grrrrr... I have lived here for 15 years and still cant get it to grow right. Whats everyones Easter plans? I am not for sure right now, but I think Granny is gonna fix dinner and maybe we'll hide the eggs for the lil ones, after church. The lil ones like to hunt them first and then hide them from us. Well, guess I will go for now. I am gonna go drink coffee and watch the sun. You all have a great day and weekend and stay safe.

I have lived here for 15 years and still cant get it to grow right. Try some scotts turf builder plus mixed with a good grass seed early in the spring (now) a few weeks before the first mowing. Then about half way through the mowing season put some more turf builder down. Then late fall after mowing season put the mix of turf builder and grass seed down again. ~Mike~ groups.msn.com/SouthernOhioDirtRacing

Sorry to hear about your granddaughter, trueracer, will put her on my prayer list and at church also. Good Monday Morning to everyone. Supposed to be pretty today. Hope everyone gets to enjoy it. Thanks Mike for the advice on my yard. I will try it as soon as I can get out to get me some fertilizer. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that my yard is really really wet in some places and really dry in others. It has alot of clay in it too and its just hard to get something to grow in it. I have bought bags and bags of top soil just to help my flowers. Dad told me to get some really good grass and sow and get some stuff to get rid of the crabgrass and I said noooo-way. Crabgrass is my friend cause that is what most of my yard is, lol. Its been there when nothing else is. Hubby had to go back to West Virginia this week . I dont like to be here by myself. I know he has to go but I dont have to like it. Heard we had a small tornado over the weekend . I dont like them things even tho they facinate me. I love to watch the big storms come in but when that lightening starts flying, I start looking for a hiding place. Well all, I hope you have a great day. Gotta get off here and get the ball rolling this morning. OHHHHH YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! How about them cats!!!! and How about West Virginia and NC State. My bracket has went all to pieces, but it is worth it to see those teams do well. You all have a gooden... ;D

Hey everyone!..It is sunshine in the skies already this morning here! What a beautiful site! This is the day that the lord has made..rejoice in it!..I am so happy to see that beautiful sunshine. I am starting to work on my flower garden this week. I just moved here to this apartment last summer so i didn't get to plant anything here last year and the people that lived here before haven't planted anything at all from what i can tell. But that's about to change..lol..I just love to see the flowers bloom out. even though my nose doesn't like it too well only bad thing about spring.. allergies! but i will put up with them just to get the warm sunny weather. Hang in there crystal, maybe the week will go by faster for you than what you think. Did you ever get the results of how that youngin did in the archery tournament? i use to shoot a bow for competition. I loved it. not any shooting ranges around here anymore Yes, the cats done well the other night..Now we have to wait until thursday before they play again..that's ok. give them time to rest up!..Well, i am out of here to get things done inside the house so when it does warm up enough to get out there and plant.. i will be ready! Have a good day everyone! Take care. Talk to you tomorrow lord willing. angie

As a UC fan I have to say....Don't remind me about that UC vs UK game lol.
Thoughts and prayers for your grandaughter, Tommy
Your welcome Crystal30 , I've used that formula on a lawn that sounds about like yours. It seemed to work pretty good. Just hope you like mowing grass though lol.
Your dad is right about the crab grass . You want to get rid of it. Your yard will look so much nicer. Thats what the turf builder plus is for . It's turf builder plus crab grass killer. He is also right about the grass seed. Make sure you get some good seed. The cheaper seeds usually has crab grass mixed in it. If the yard is clay and wet in parts and dry in other parts . I would suggest a good Ky Blue Grass seed. Scotts brand is a little higher than the other seeds but its a good seed. If you use the formula I told you. Grass seed mixed with turf builder plus in the early spring. Then about mid summer put some more turf builder plus down. Then late fall put the turf builder plus mixed with the seed again. I think you will really notice a differece. I would suggest you do it when the yard is a little damp . It will work faster and that way it doesn't just get washed away when it rains. I usually wait until right after a rain or within a couple days after a rain when the ground is still damp to put the stuff down.
I have a suggestion for your flowers also . If your buying bags and bags of top soil because your trying to get them to grow in the clay soil. That will work, but its a little more effective if you mix some peat moss in . I wouldn't use just top soil. Get you a bag of peat moss next time and mix it in. Peat moss will help losen up the clay soil. Clay soil packs tight when it gets wet. With some peat moss mixed in it wont pack so thight and your roots can breathe.

:)Good Morning everyone. Hope this finds you doin well. The sun is beautiful this morning mixed with the clouds. They are giving us rain, but at least its gonna be warm. I was out all day yesterday picking up and straightening the yard. I helped dad and mom floor their patio. They've had that thing for 25 years I know and it was still in decent shape. Some of the boards were starting to rot. I laughed for and hour at my dad. He had his cover-alls on and started to stand up and help me put some more boards up there and he had nailed his pants leg down. I told him he was just gonna have to set there. LOL. It was so funny. Mike, thanks very much for the advice on the flowers. I will do that. I love flowers, I just have such a hard time gettin anything to grow. Especially annuals. I love impatiens and begonias together. I had them around my pond the year before last. Course it took me all summer to get them to where I wanted them. Last year I just mixed them up with different ones. It didnt look as good, but it was pretty. My birthday is in May, so I just tell the family to get me flowers and pots, stuff for my yard. I get more good out of them than I do anything else. Last year I think I ended up with about 3 flats of flowers, lol. I was planting for a month. But it was worth it. Well all, guess I better go. Gotta get up and get started. I could set here and talk flowers all day and let every thing else go. You all have a great day all day long. ;D

Good Early humpday to the gang. Richard, glad your dentist visit went well. I do not like those visits at all. Oh and about the root canal, u are a much braver person than me. I cant hardly handle the cleaning . It is warm out this morning. Hopefully it will stay. I gotta fix my dog a house this morning. He has outgrown his little one. Dads gonna help me. I told him not to wear coveralls this time, lol. I gotta do laundry too. How this many clothes gets dirty is beyond me. Well all, hope you have a great day. Gotta get started. See u soon hopefully.
