Welcome to the yard on the left. A place to contemplate, relax, and rant on the right.

Spreadin' it out

Conditions were perfect for spreading crabgrass pre-emergent and little bit of fertilizer to get the lips yard going. Because of the light dew, I could easily see my wheelmarks, preventing the dreaded "stripes" that Charmaine loves to point out.

You can see the dried grass clinging to the wheels of the trusty Scott's drop spreader. That's because we had just raked the back LipsYard the day before.


This is our second season using Stein's green products with zero Phosphorus (the red 0 on the label) and the rest of the fertilizer comprised of Milorganite (people pooh!.)


Condoleeza Rice was spreading fertilizer of a different type over the weekend with an unannounced stop in Bhagdad. Our Secretary of State mocked Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr as a coward on Sunday, hours after the radical leader threatened to declare war unless a military crackdown on his followers ends.
Maybe I'm confused, or just lost track of our goal, but why are we in Iraq and who are we fighting?
