Linn - the adventures of living in an icy climate. I'm glad we didn't have to change the name of that hospital thread again!

This afternoon I got gas for the mower and I did the front yard and about 2/3 of the back yard before it was too dark to see what I was doing. I'd scooped earlier, and tomorrow I'll go out with some spinosad spray and spritz each fresh pile out there. This is what I figured out last year for killing the flies that clobber the dogs. Let the bait lure them over and the spinosad (an organic insect killer) knock them off or stop eggs from hatching.

This is the time of year when I'll get the most workout, during the early growing season, so I need to make the most of this time to drop the weight I slathered on over the winter. Two hours of mowing is a good start.

Computer work tonight, though I have some stuff out for cooking so I'll have leftovers for lunch this week. I may pace myself and fix some tomorrow.
