Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

had a fun drive around the neighborhood in Miata with top down.
Getting out with the top down isn't so hard, if it were up, not sure my body would twist that way.
Then we got back and washed both the Miata and my Volvo.
Good exercise, got sweaty outside in the sun, about 73 now, felt great
Didn't even bother washing the Volvo wheels, driving home in rain tomorrow...

The little town of Milton is facing a doubling of its 2000 person size due to a huge development coming in, right next to friend's home. Currently corn fields. My friend is head of the local HOA and has been embroiled in public meetings for almost a year. And probably another year to come.

I remember this happening to my small town of New Hope. It was around 1000 people growing up, and by the time I got out of high school it had grown to about 1500. Then a big townhouse development was planned, and my father and many others fought it. They lost. Added almost six hundred folks to population. And this is surely local color, since so many of the inhabitants were gay, it didn't stress out the school system. This is normally what happens, town has to build a hugely expensive new school.
Curative amendment, forcing all the zoning to be rewritten.

I lived in the small village of St. Jacob IL for about eight years before getting married. The population was about 800 people when I moved there. A couple of new large subdivisions built on the edge of town caused that to jump to about 1200 by the time I left (I believe it's around 1400 now). They had to build a new school to accommodate the 50% growth. People who lived in the older part of town where I lived were none too happy about having their taxes raised to pay for a new school. The growing pains were not always friendly at the monthly village hall meetings.

Don, a part of my front yard gets very little, or no, sunlght, so that's why I was leaning toward the Tall Fescue. But nothings set in stone. What else might give me grass in the front yard with absolute minimal sunlight? Rye grass did well for a time in the past, but as expected it eventually died out. I might consider astro turf except I don't know how I'd get those blasted little acorns out of it.

I'd go with a boarder area with rock or mulch. I'll get a few pics and post later. Out here there is little attempt to grow grass under trees you will loose, unless you got them trimmed so sunlight gets through.

This was in the neighborhood, I pulled over and got a quick pic in my side mirror, there was a lot more smoke and the driver bailed out of the skid steer.
It was over in about two minutes when the skid steer died in this position.

Bird a few pics of a boarder area under trees where grass will not grow.

Kyle, I think my episode was similar in circumstances..... the little voice inside told me to sit on the edge of the bed first..... I didn't listen. I got up way too fast, still half asleep.

My doctor told me years ago to sit on the side of the bed with both feet flat on the floor for an actual minute, before standing.

74° and sunshine, very light winds.
My apple tree was leaning for a couple of years, last years bumper crop took it way over. So today we straightened up with the tractor and tow strap and Y’d two stakes with rope attached. Will leave it a few weeks then fine tune it if needed. Still needs pruning.

Then I took my tractor with the spray rig on it, and my ZTR to my shop building for service. First though I mowed part of my yard just because it felt good.

Hmmm, not sure I’d still make the potty.

Great advice! I think I learned my lesson......
