Preparing for Old Age

[Tiramisu]

I'm on another one of my "kicks". Most of our landscaping is over 15yo. The landscape timbers are rotten and need to be replaced. The hedges are thin and other plants are either too tall or too thin. When you look at our house, you can't really see the porch for the shrubs. So, Hubby and I are going to tear it all out. Actually, Hubby will - while I sit with my foot propped up (surgery on the 25th).

That'll save the cost of mulching, new timbers, electricity used for edging. Cutting grass on the riding mower is easier than bending to pull weeds, use the hedgers and weedeater. So, instead of beds all around the house, I'll only have one in the back for my cut table flowers.

Of course, I'll still have some hanging baskets and potted plants out and about.
