Sinus Valley

Sinus Valley

Posted on 30 Jul, 2008 2 comments

It has begun! Sinus season in Sinus Valley. The headache started Monday, the congestion by Monday night, ear ache, face pain, sore throat, then the $15.00 co-pay followed by the cost of the antibiotic for a sinus infection. Never fails. I know, every state (or country) has Sinus Valley somewhere. Fun, fun, fun.

The weather has been dry since the earlier deluge. Now, we could use some rain – and with the humidity increasing – the possibility exists. We’re into maintenance for the most part. Hubby is overwhelmed with clover trying to take over. DD has been kept busy drowning Japanese beetles. We finally gave in and dusted for them – they seem to come in droves. The raspberries have finished producing (sob). So I prune back overgrown annuals and perennials, John weeds and trims, and waters if necessary. All in all, everything looks good.

We have this nasty, viny, weedy thing that we call Creeping Charlie winding it’s way into nearly every nook and cranny, flower and fence in our yard. Someone suggested “painting” it with a weed killer. You gotta be kidding. That would be an endless, useless endeavor. We could start now, work 24/7, and not “paint” all of it in a year! Anybody got a better suggestion?

See some new pics in the photo section when you can.
