Went out to take a picture----NICE cool, sunny morning....

I have a busy day planned...hope I get to some of it done...
There's lots of heavy stuff that needs to be done before next hursday--
as I will not be able to do much of anything for two weeks after that.
Having Carpal Tunnel surgery on my right hand on 4-17.
Two weeks of NO lifting more than 2lbs --hand all bandaged up....
Bad time of year to have to put up with it..However--.just 2 weeks and then it will
be OK to do anything I want... will have to use my left hand a lot--it will get a work-out...

I won't take any time off from work because of this--judt will be pon "light duty"...
May use this time to catch up on my training classes...I am VERY behind!

--Today--I want to put down pre-emergent on my front lawn (only)
--I definitely will try to cut back my 2 Junipers--will use an electric Hedge trimmer,
as much as I hate the "clipped look"--but I cannot do it by hand any more--one branch
at a time--as I have always done...so it does not look like it has been trimmed...
--It would be nice if i could dig up my raised bed---but that will be a monster effort.
Tree roots in every inch to yank out,,,Will try...my put it off ...
--Bought several Dill and Parsley plants from Bonnies tables at the HD.
Sale still on until 4/13 . $5 for $10 Reg. $3.68 each. Need to plant those too...
Go to your HD and take a look...these are really good deals...

Here's my cut back Endless Summer Hydrangea--and my S. bed full of Daffs.
I dug up a lot of them last year when i was digging in there moving the Iris around.
Just gave away a lot of the bulbs...
