Oooh – thanks for that tip,
LadyM! It’s
wisteria that I was thinking of growing into the walnut tree, though, and it is listed as being tolerant, so that’s good to know. If I ever get new hydrangea plants, they would go in the front yard, and they would be beside holly bushes/shrubs. (Don’t know if that’s a good idea either, btw.)
I don’t know if I will ever get the wisteria started or not – but I do love the look of it. I don’t have any sort of gazebo or arbor, but it came to that it might grow into the tree in the backyard. IF I can ever get the stupid chain-link fence down, this tree would make a great shade for a sitting area.
OH – just saw your comment,
Twins – if it is growing underneath a single tree in a pasture, nothing else close to it for at least 15 feet, I’d guess – what will it do? Doesn’t it need something to “climb”? Will the vine just spread out on the ground and take over the pasture itself? Hmmm…
And
Harmony is warning me about this too… maybe not such a good idea… especially for someone who wants a NO-Maintenance lawn.
DH would definitely say Lucy + Anything Green in the Ground is not such a good idea!
So glad your fever is gone,
LadyM, and that is a wonderful idea to hire your dd to do some cleaning!
Housework in general never ends, does it? That’s why it’s so frustrating – you KNOW if you do it, you just have to do it again… sigh…
BUT – I am not “frittering” away as much of my day as I did yesterday.
I made today sorta a pamper-me day, and before leaving the house I had
* colored my hair
* used a facial mask
* shaved my legs
* took old nail polish off
* done my Bible reading
* drank approx. 12 oz water
Then I went to town,
* met my dmom at the post office (after she called to report she was at the drug store & had Easter candy for dgrands and wanted to bring it to me)
* THEN had ddil meet us both there because SHE had called & was on her way to town…
Came home, read the paper, and
* TA DA * vacuumed the rugs in den, hallways, and dining room, plus computer room carpet. Stopped because dh was out of the shower and wanted to watch the Braves game.
(((
Cathy))) – my dh is generally early to appointments also. But that is better than being late, which is my dmom’s problem (if I am not driving her and rushing; dh has trained me well.)
I would love to have an inexpensive, easy to use power washer! (Is that even possible?)
So glad
Harriet’s dd is having a good day!
(((
Blessed))) Sending lots of good wishes for full recovery and an end to pain!
I am leaving out comments to so many of you!
It takes me FOREVER to read and respond when I come to our village! I hope you ALL have a great day!
