okay----today, i must resume my many unfinished projects, including some Yard Work!! Namesly, a pile of pine needles i intend ta rake up and compost. They kill the grass if you leave em, and i barely have enough ground cover, as it is. So yeah----will rake the entire front yard to "de-thatch" it, this fall, and throw some stuff on there to make the ground cover spread. Yup. Been lucky---did not have to mow very much, this year. Nope.
