~~~~~~ Not to sound corny but, "TIMING IS EVERYTHING"!
(Getting my house and yard in order before the Big Adventurer...only 4more sleeps, L'll Sis!)

As many of you know I try to do most of my yard work myself even though the golf clubs, shoes and bag are calling out my name as I view them sitting in their spot in the garage.

Following an exhausting workout class at the "Y" yesterday I quickly headed over to the garden centre to pick up grass seed, top soil and mulch...much, much mulch. #1 Son is coming up this weekend and wants to get his hands into the soil and into the mulch.

Now about the grass seed. I have several areas of lawn that are shady and the grass in those areas really needed some care. I spoke with a neighbour, Jim, who encouraged me to scarf up the lawn that needed help with a long handle tool that had several sharp pointed prongs and a wheel. The tool loosens the sod and makes room for the new grass seed.

I kept my eye on the sky as the clouds were moving in quickly and decided to just "DO IT" (all the while resisting comments to myself about my aching muscles from that session at the "Y" in the morning) and get the job done.

Three hours later...lawn scarfed and tool back to Jim, seed planted and the top soil scattered over the seed I staggered into the house and the heavens opened up. YEA! Now you see why "timing is everything"!

Till next time...
