Cece have you ever tried Peet's?
In the 80s I drank LOTS of coffee and Peet's rocked!
Don't want to exile your Folgers - it's the favorite of a good friend of mine - just suggesting a variety....
Chelle - you said:
"I had to laugh at your - see ya, later, and now I'm really running behind! It's great to be busy, isn't it?
Is that deer actually laying down in your yard? He's right at home, isn't he.
Lava rock! Arggggh! That's just one step above pulling up weed-choked and seemingly cemented-in landscape fabric. That's some very, very hard work.
What's your soil like? Clay and moist, or sandy and dry?"
1- I'm not really all that busy, but I do have one relatively new but really good friend who sometimes wants me along for "moral support", which really means keeping her peeled off the ceiling, on errands. and she called in a tizzy about a purchase decision...... So I had to hurry.
2- YES, that young deer AND ITS TWIN moved right in through the gap in the fence and I STILL have their decendants. I hate to deny them their source of food that they grew up relying on. But enough is enough. When I see them in person I always tell them I love them, but the buffet is closed.
3 - Yes, the only thing worse would be landscape fabric! The lava rock itself isn't so heavy, but it DOES stop a shovel.
so you have to "scoop" it. OH my BACK!!! Luckily, I got permission form the empty lot owner down the street to dump it over his back hill. Before that, I couldn't figure out how I would dispose of it...
and 4 - YES, it's #%*^!$% clay.............. Did I mention my back? AND I actually found a 2' wide, long as the width of my yard, SEAM OF COAL right at the surface. CRIMENY! I didn't even know coal could be found at the surface! Did I mention my back????
We have it here, too; can you tell?
