      Oh, I don't mind dandelions , the bees love 'em . Besides , we don't   
   have a "lawn" , just some wild grasses here and there amongst the weeds   
   and wild flowers . This is a clearing out in the woods y'know .   
   Landscaping is not high on the priority list , however I need to make   
   some decisions . We bought some bee-friendly shrubs yesterday (Weigela   
   and Rose of Sharon) and I need to decide where to put them . I'm   
   thinking a bee/hummingbird/butterfly garden spot somewhere near the   
   house so we can watch . Probably not too close to the house on the south   
   side so we can watch from the deck or window .

   Yes , I'm old   
   and crochety - and armed .   
   Get outta my woods !
