Three for three....

And once again as the lawn season gears up, the dudes with the weed whackers have tossed a pebble into my french door, shattering it into a zillion pieces of puzzle glass. It's still standing up, which considering the storm bearing down upon us, is quite a miracle.

Year one -- huge sliding glass door killed.
Year two -- one of the long side windows died.
Year three -- stable side of new door dies.

Why couldn't it be the other long side window? I would have appreciated that one biting the dust.

At least the poor lawn guy has insurance.

If you live in New England...if your land is bordered by brush...

New Tick Killers Avoid Widespread Spraying

"After her husband got Lyme disease, her young son kept getting tick bites in their yard and a close friend nearly died of the tick-borne infection, Laurie Gaulke felt she had to do something. With heavy brush and a forest with deer behind her home in Gillette, Gaulke tried a new strategy three years ago: installing a tick-killing system in the brush fringing her yard."
( I'm gonna do nematodes )
You don't want this disease. Trust me--you DON'T want this disease. You REALLY don't want this disease to be undetected...to go on months or years before a doctor gets suspicious. And most doctors have no idea how to treat it properly.

If you live in a heavy deer area, start thinking about this now.
