What miserable day outside today. It is so gloomy. Good thing we had a decent day to take pictures on Sat. It was however very windy and quiet chilly, we had to eat our lunch in the car but still enjoyed the day. This is another picture I took on Sat. on the outing. I really like this one it is very colorful.

I am so addicted to “Americas Got Talent“  I don’t usually get caught up in the TV shows like that but I caught the end of it last season and got hooked. I have been following it every Tues. and Wed. LOVE IT. The ones I wanted to get in to the semi finals did YEA! I think my favorite is Grandma Lee she is too funny. I don’t know if she will make it to the end but WOW! what an experience for her at her age. GO Grandma Lee!

Til next time, Donna

A winterizer grass treatment is important for the overall health of your turf. The reason for this is that snow melts in spring (obviously) and soaks the winterizing fertilizer right down into the soil where the grass can use it to recover. A solid winterizing lawn treatment will ensure your lawn is the first to green up when warmer temperatures prevail in early March.  Read more... (232 words, 1 image, estimated 56 secs reading time)
