As for that doctor, he did his best for my husband but that left ear's hearing just winked out one day and couldn't be brought back (my birthday that year, as it happened - that stunk).

If it were acceptable in our neighborhood and financially feasible, I'd rip out the grass and grow flowers. :)Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-67111391136973175952019-05-02T03:21:58.333-04:002019-05-02T03:21:58.333-04:00Glad to know that your husband's hearing has i...Glad to know that your husband's hearing has improved.<br />No, I am not so much of a fan of lawns, though it looks good.

The grass is scratchy when my skin touches it, I don't like the smell of a newly cut one, and the water it requires is a lot, especially for an area that is prone to drought. But what do you do with the land that's grassed in now?Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-62005028893180406552019-05-01T13:44:08.178-04:002019-05-01T13:44:08.178-04:00WOW...I don't think I have ever read a blog of...WOW...I don't think I have ever read a blog of yours touched on so many topics! That is more like me....haha... Okay, first the lawn, I am looking to maybe sell and move within the yr. Thought about (only in passing) of a condo however I don't want to pay fees. Plus, I like being able to let the dogs out in the fence and having my shed to do wood working. Thinking that some of that would be limited in a condo. I don't care for mowing so much but I like my yard. FLIP FLOPS, LOVE them but even I know better then mowing in them. STUPID. Sorry about your mower and glad the blade missed you for sure. MUMPS, really? Maybe time to find a new doc. Sorry you missed your deadline, all that writing must have wore you out.

Mowing services are just too expensive for our tiny yard. ~sigh~ Thanks for all the kind words!Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-77530998044439330842019-05-01T12:35:32.919-04:002019-05-01T12:35:32.919-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-75330861718249287332019-05-01T12:09:17.461-04:002019-05-01T12:09:17.461-04:00I hate yard work.
