Do be careful of your eyes while out there. Last year, I injured my right eye, perhaps it was while mowing. I know I hit a trumpet vine seed pod, but I think that was the other eye ??? Anyhow, I had to go to the ER and my opthamologist. The fluid in my eye was detached from the retina; it was not quite a detached retina. Thankfully, it healed up okay. I had headaches, was seeing light flashes and other odd optical symptoms. I need to do more pruning this winter too. I hope winter lasts as long as the to-do list does !

Nightowl, I will take my own advice and your story to heart and get out there with my trusty shears and clippers tomorrow. It is risky not just to me but anyone who doesn't see them.

I would like some thing like Fire Bush for more fall color. But snow drifts there. But have made lot of mistakes of Over-planting. Use to go to many flower swaps. And traded on line. And when NOT READING about plants. And wanted to hide LP tank. Had to make a path for Poor Guy to fill it.

I have to redo lot of landscaping blocks.And put landscaping fabric -sand first. Between flash flood,frost up heaving weeds have gotten between them and unlevel. Seen a crew of 10 guys doing that at house that was on garden walk. That will be next year project. Might take all summer. Not sure how many blocks I have-but a lot. Making muscle sore thinking about it.

Jerry wants me not to have weed on my hands and knees.I wear good pads. So I do that when he's not around  But need to mulch with rock. So Flower beds aren't a second and third job.
Night owl I had Jerry trim lot of our trees. All I had to ask him how to start chain saw. I also got poked. But not like you.
