There's a subset of trees and shrubs in the greenbelt behind the house that isn't native, it is escaped stuff like ligustrum, also called privet. Spreads everywhere (it does smell nice and birds love the berries) and crowds out more durable native plants before they're big enough to grow over the top of it.

Then there are native trees like hackberry that are weeds everywhere around the yard and garden and when allowed to grow large are usually full of mistletoe and are always clobbered by web worms in the summer or fall. I need the bank to stay intact so most big things are staying, but as the oaks back there grow, I'll trim out the limbs on nearby hackberries that are slowing them down.

Today I decluttered myself of one of the MOST ANNOYING things that MS Word has done for ages. I think it was a default setting, that if you let it automatically select a whole word (when you mouse over) it grabs a lot more than you want. They used to have a "smart selection" thing where you could click and grab a word and click again and grab a sentence or paragraph, but I think that went away (or it has to be set somewhere else). Anyway, I fixed it. It will save me all of the wasted time many times of day of trying to get just what I want and not everything else in the table or paragraph.

Granola is in the oven. Dishes are washed. Hell's Front Porch is right outside my door, so I'm not doing much in the yard till near dark. I seem to be responding to weather extremes by staying home. Too cold? Too hot? Too wet? Don't go anywhere. In the summer it's what I mentioned before - I go walk from the heat to the museum to scan, and their air conditioning is set to frigid, so I'm sweaty and I need a sweater (which I keep forgetting). I guess this is my retiree brain saying "you went out when you had to go to work for 40+ years, now you don't have to."

Steve, do you have anyone telling you that maybe there is some underlying condition that is allowing the cellulitis to come back so often? I'd be asking my doctors about that after as many times as you've had it.
