I had been waiting a long time for the warm weather! And now it is here!

Hi Janey. Why not give gardening a go until I met my husband that I have now I had never done it either and I am getting better at it. It is so much fun to watch the flowers and plants turn into beautiful things when spring comes along. So sorry you are still having the effects of winter where you live. I thank God daily for the beautiful weather we are having. I am really proud of how God has made our yard so much better. It is so nice when we see the cars that pass our home stop and enjoy the beauty that God has made our yard into.

Hi Janey. It is absolutely beautiful. When it blooms in late summer early fall I will put a picture on here of it. I have so many beautiful flowers they all bloom at separate times of the year. Thanks my friend hope you have a wonderful day!

I like the sound of that pink lily, that sounds gorgeous!

i have this problem too when the weather gets warm the snakes rats spiders keep coming and they are almost everywhere and they really bug me and just thinking of them gives me the goosebumps.]

Hi Hofferp. I hope you get your dog the shot soon. The snakes will be coming out soon. I know what you mean about the scorpions and trantulas, I have lived there and in Arizona and they are bad there too. But like you said scoot the trantulas out the door and step on the scorpions. The rattle snakes keep away from but if you can't pick something up and kill the snake. I hate the snakes the worse. Thank God we don't see many on our propety. Thank God HE keeps them away from here. Hi Mejofin and welcome to my lot. Why let them bother you? With the power of Jesus Christ on your side all you have to do is ask HIM for HIS protection from all evil. But always do it in Jesus name and the bad things won't bother you. Don't let anything frighten you when you have Christ protection.

Hi Java. There is something that you can put in your yard and it keeps the ticks and fleas away from your pets. It is a good thing to keep the grass cut short that way the pest aren't too bad. Good luck on keeping your pets free of pest.

error:or summer is it is a sort of energy sapping heat.

Hi Picjim. When we get the heat that just drains us we go to the creek and play in the water. It is only about 5 miles from our house and a good drive on a dirt road with lots of shade trees. I hate snakes and have killed many of them. I am glad you don't have snakes there. Some are poisonous and can make you pretty sick if they bite you so when I see a snake I kill it. Some black snakes will eat other snakes so I leave them alone so they can eat the other snakes.

Hi Ghiepte. I hate the cold so this hot weather is nice. Been cold for too long this past winter. Hate having on pants love wearing shorts. And when it gets too hot we can always cool off by jumping into the creek. I love those days when we go to the creek.

Hi Calfbull and welcome to my lot. As far as the cockroaches don't keep any paper bags boxes or news papers in or around your home and they won't have anything to eat. You can also put down plain old baking soda all around your base boards and cabinets are and it will kill them. They love to eat it and they can't expel gas so they blow up and die. The mosquitoes you can get centennial candles and put them all over and the bugs don't like them. Screens on every window and door will keep the flies out of your home. Avon makes a lotion that you can put on yourself and it keeps the mosquitoes off you. No need for a lot of pesticides. Just what you need to put around your yard to keep the ticks and fleas out of your yard.

Hi Marsha. Don't you just love those days when you can get into the yard work? Boy I love it when it is nice enough to work in our yard. This is the seanson for us to have a lot of tornadoes so it isn't a good season to burn. We have a few rabbits but the moles and squirrels are worse then the rabbits. Today is another good day but today I don't have time for my yard We hve to work at moms place. She is putting her house on the market so we have to clean the yard up. Hope you have a great day.

Hi Smileonstar. I know what you mean I lived in LA for years and it was always nice. The last two weeks I lived in LA it rainned so bad that the streets was flooded though. I know how nice it is to be able to go to the beach. I don't miss LA though I am much happier here in Missouri.

Hi Nixxi. I am so sorry your having bad weather. I hate it when it gets so cold I have to wear pants. I do love the warmer months for many reasons but being able to get back in shorts is a big part of that. When winter comes and it is cold you have to stay in long pants and I hate having to have on so much clothing. Hope you have a short winter and get back into the warm weather soon.

Hi Cream if you get some citronella candles and put them all around the mosquitoes won't bother you as bad. There is a lotion that you can buy that they don't like either I can't remember what the name of it is but it comes from Avon. I am pretty lucky for some reasons bug don't bite me much. But they love my husband they eat him up and the dog gets it too. If you lived in your own home and had a yard they make something you can put in and around your yard and they don't like it either. As far as the nats go I think they don't like those candles either. But I would keep your mother in laws windows shut if they don't have screens. You need screen doors and windows to keep the bugs out of your home. I hate the bugs too but I am lucky I haven't ever had too many bugs bite me. I don't know if it is cause I am tanned or if it is cause I am native Indian. Or if it is just the grace of God that keeps them off me. But I thank God they don't like me.

Hi Cherry. We do have a tornado season and I hate it we live in a mobile we do have a house here but it needs a lot of work so we live in the mobile till we can get the money to fix the house enough to live in. But that won't be for some time since we live on a fixed income we do what we can when we have a little extra. I know what you mean about the storms on the east coast been watching the weather and it don't look good for your side of the of the world. It is nice when you can get in the yard early in the morning instead of late in the day. Good thing you have an indoor cat those ticks can be nasty things to bite.

Hi Nick and welcome to my lot. I don't like winter. But I do like not having all the pest that come with summer.

Hi Mejofin. I don't like the pest that comes with summer. I do love gardening I think it is cool how God can make a seed turn into a beautiful thing that can be eaten and seen by all. It is so nice to see the flowers coming out and the vegetables turning into food to be eaten. The snakes don't bother me when I see one I will just kill it I know as long as I believe in God I am safe from all evil. Hope your garden turns out to be beautiful and you have many great days to work in your yard.
