Re: Ah, spring

I am right there with you Zem. I just have to do one small section at a
time or I feel overwhelmed. It rains every time I try to work in the
yard. I've been going out out in between the showers, trying to pull out
the weeds before they take over. Our yard is so HIGH and its too wet to
mow.

I did not think that deer liked hellebores.  Mine are all over the place. 
They have even reseeded in the yard.  I'm so sorry to hear the deer are 
being so awful at your house, Auralie.  I'm beginning to think I will never 
get anything done this year.  Every time I'm off it rains.  I don't remember 
such lush spring.  The grass has gone wild along with every noxious weed 
know to mankind.  Maybe somebody will take pity and provide a yard service 
for free. <LOL>  Otherwise I'll just have to keep plugging along.
