Good morning Rick...Sean...all of Illinois...and...lurkers from far and wide!!! Woke up this morning to a solid 6" of heavy...wet...white crap...the kind that causes heart attacks. I have to get motivated and get out and clear the driveway...the Ariens is a wonderful machine. Hope MA Nature is treating you better!!! Watch out behind you...Covid 19 is chasing you!!!

Evening Sean...I saw that this morning. I guess he considers a lot of dead old farts to be collateral damage for a strong economy. I'm not sure about you...but...my 401K is down about 40% in the past month or so. I'm not sure I'll live long enough for it to come back...which means my heirs will get less. I haven't touched it in the 5 years I've been retired...and...hope to not touch it.

Howdy Sean!

I need to get my lawn tools out of the shed and get them ready for Summer. Just don't have the ambition also don't want to be the first on the block to start a mower.

I’m impressed with the number of cold resistant weeds. Will continue to expand the backyard flower garden.

I know we drove by the nursery where we get our fertilizers today and they will be closed until April 8.

Last years weeds are trying to take over already.
