Have you tested how strong your internet signal is? It's a balmy 70 degrees here, so I've been outside gardening. When I just couldn't dig any more or amend any more, I came inside and got a soft drink and my laptop and went back out to the end of the front walk and chatted on Cute for awhile. I had no clue I could get a signal in the yard! Without a cord, I can compute for around an hour, so, these nice days, I may be talking and voting and browsing outside! So nice to look up and see the early daylilies and two awesome white amaryllises in bloom. Try your signal!

It feels like all I have is weeds, which I have been pulling today, however my lilacs did survive and I have some lovely tulips in my yard. But tons of dandelions and this awful vine clover. I can honestly say I have not used any herbicides on my lawn. Friends, please do not use roundup or its associated chemicals

Thank You, I see nothing wrong with dandelions and put nothing on my yard. I feel we are Up North, I like the look. It was in the 80's today. Only problem with this heat, tulips and other spring will not last.

I do not have a problem with dandelions until they turn white. Lol! I started 3 years ago weeding after 20 years of neglect. I had an invasive field bind weed. That weed was a whole lot easier to pull than what has replaced it. UGH, so I am just managing them, back yard is a free for all right now.

I sit outside with my laptop whenever the weather is nice. It is very handy when trying to identify snakes. :)

I hope we all spend many an hour enjoying the outdoors with you. Our yard is quite natural. We call it the field of 40 shades of green. It has a lot of weeds but as long as they are green they are mowed and left to live or die.

I used to love to put two perennials that were known as thugs, that replicate fast, into a flower bed and let them duke it out. May the best flower, or in this case, weed, win!

Our yard is the same, if it is green, it can stay and grow.

I just fed the squirrels, bluejays, cardinals and the hummingbirds. The woodpeckers are on the trees and it's soothing to hear their tap-a tap sounds. My hydrandega's and lillies of the nile are getting ready to bloom, all my herbs are coming up fine.My lavender has been picked and I mmade a beautiful bouquet for my entry. When it drys I will make sachet bags.I am starting to feel good again.Thank you Sue for your encouraging words. I'm sharing my cup of tea.
