i need help pulling weeds
Hire a "LANDSCAPER" :glare: .

Just passing through, taking a rake break. If they ONE GUY is coming to aerate this
week, problem-area raking needs to be done BEFORE they HE arrives.

So... Pleasant Tuesday wishes to all.

Back later!

    Hi Bear:)
    No raking here ... besides that everything is soaking wet.

    She would never sink that low**, Bear! :D ;)

    ** to hire during a pandemic when they could lay them off and get unemployment instead.
    I actually "hired" the service back in early January. Actually, I simply renewed.
    What they do is completely beyond my control.

    Speaking of which, they HE showed up today. I had them HIM start in the
    front while I completed the backyard problem area. So, it was a good thing
    I got out there today to rake. Now I just need grass seed.

    I called "my" usual garden center to ask how their curbside service worked.
    She explained it... but she also said - very matter-of-factly - that the store
    is open for walk-in shopping. (!!!) So there is yet another place somebody
    could call to ask "why are you essential". That also makes me feel better when
    thinking about mid-May's plant shopping. 34 days and counting.

    Yeah, I'd like to get some seedlings and dirt too, just for fun. Maybe. But I'll probably just cop out.

    I have zero energy.
    Why is a garden center "essential"?

    Don't know about yours, but the one I go to also is a supplier for home
    construction. Maybe that's it. Don't know. But thank God I can get
    a back yard gazing ball during this virus thing. And an alabaster pedestal
    upon which to place it. ;)

    Or is it because they sell food in the form of vegetable plants?

    IDK. For a 4-week lockdown, I wouldn't think it's essential.

    The problem is the growing/planting season, so it would push your whole garden back a month. Then again, if I had wanted real seedlings, I should have stared them myself inside back in Feb.
    NY is not in a lockdown.

    But, anyway, good thing I'm not "into" early Spring planting. 34 days (+/- 1 or 2)
    before I plan to start.

    Interesting... Amazon...

    ALL the oximeters that come WITH a carrying case, lanyard ( :) ) and batteries
    are only available by "these sellers" and do not ship until mid-May.

    BUT, if I want JUST the oximeter and shipment within a week, plenty of those.

    I did find one that came with an "elegant lanyard" ( :) ). Like I want to wear it
    as a necklace.
