Vic, honey, thanks for the offer, but I have more pine seedlings than I can keep ripped out -- they're what I call "telephone pole pines" -- tall and straight, with needles a the tip-top. I had planted an Arizona Cypress last year, but I either planted it at the wrong time or in the wrong place, cause it lasted 2 months. I've had a new hole dug/amended since Oct, but haven't been able to spare the $30 for the new cypress. At this point, I'm waiting for fall.
Sharon, my mind and body have that same disconnect, and it sounds like we have the same ideas re: cleaning. I keep the kitchen floor mostly clean -- my grammaw dog sleeps in there at night and is easily confused about whether she's inside or outside. But I have a heck of time finding any counter space, because what little I have is always cluttered. Somehow, "cleaning the kitchen" never translates to finding the counter tops.
