Here's what he got done in two days. I can't remember how many wheelbarrow loads he said she shoveled - over 20, I think it was
It was 95 yesterday and again today. I can only imagine how hot we would be feeling if we didn't have ac!
All those years of shopping with me rubbed off on DD. She really doesn't like Walmart, but it's the closest store to her and she knows they are usually cheaper. Target is about a mile farther from her house. She messaged me last night that she went into Walmart and bought a pack of thank you cards for $4.98, rather than paying $10 that Target wanted. She's also going to switch her dogs flea medicine for something cheaper. She's been using something expensive she gets directly from her vet that does flea, tick and heartworm. Now that they have 2 dogs, it adds up. They don't really have a tick problem where she lives, nor a heartworm problem. (though I imagine there are cases of it, just rarely). I have never had a vet (living up in Northern US) tell me to give heartworm prevention treatments, but apparently it's very much needed down south. We do have ticks here from April - mid July, then it gets too hot for them. Where dd is has milder temps, but not a tick problem area at all. She would be fine to just do a flea medicine. I told her I use Advecta, which is similar to Advantix, but cheaper. When I want to use flea and tick during the tick months, I have been using Pet Armor Plus. Whatever DD used on her dogs for the wedding weekend (since we were up in the woods) she said smelled awful. I told her the Pet Armor doesn't smell at all (and neither does the Advecta). Our friends that just moved down south had to start giving their dog heartworm prevention medication.
That gravel covered area looks great! Landscaping with gravel is very popular in my area, too, and I've been considering doing something like that, in my front garden, where I can't grow a lawn anymore (takes too much water to maintain it).
ReplyDeletethanks! I like it too, but a few plants it does need, though.
DeleteThe rock area with the boulders looks really nice. Rock landscaping is not generally done here. I think keeping the weeds is the main reason it is not done here. We have a long growing season and a lot of plants and vines that would take over a rock landscape.
ReplyDeleteDH didn't want to have to replace beauty bark every year or two and rocks do help keep the weeds less invasive. Unlike you we have a short growing season - it'll be covered in snow before we know it! LOL.
DeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteYour DH is a man on a mission. It all looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteMonica:)
He's figuring at 12 wheelbarrow loads a day....he'll be done in 4 months, LOL
DeleteI love the rocks and the house! I know y'all are enjoying it. I live in Georgia and yes, we have so many mosquitoes that heartworm prevention in dogs is a must. We have three small dogs and our vet gives them ProHeart injections every six months. Much easier that pills. I also use an oral flea prevention treatment for them. They hate the oily treatments!
ReplyDeletethank you! I don't mind doing the topical flea/tick treatment, as long as it's not stinky LOL. The 6 months treatment for heartworm sounds like a good way to do it.
