grass or no grass ?
Original Message   Apr 12, 2005 8:27 pm
hi guys...

this is kinda out there so if necessary remove it .

im in the process of cleaning up my property now that its spring here.

i have next to no landscaping as yet.

my driveway is pretty good but thats it,basically i have 4 acres of trees.lots of hardwood and softwood.

i have been removing as much of the dead and hard looking trees and thinning out the rest.

its starting to look kinda park like.

i have lend of a huge wood chipper that i have been putting all the brush and tops into.ill post pics of it in action later

i save the big stuff for firewood.

anyway i have been wondering that once i get done should i plant grass between the trees or just let it grow up into ferns and other woodsy stuff.i plan to try to average 10 or so feet between the trees,this will encourage them to grow tall and allow me room to work around them.

when i started you could hardley walk between them

i should mention that i dont like mowing lawns but i do have a good variety of riders and tractors at work i could use.

and i really hate pushing a mower. 

thanks for any input ...

later chris

That stone wall looks great.  I've never done anything like that.  Termy have you done stone walls, I'd think it would be something you should take up. It would make you more money.

Snowshoveler,

I have for the last year been trying to get Paula to post her picture so we can all see if she is a babe or not. I've not been within a 1000 miles of her, and that is because of a strong self-preservation instinct and not wanting to end up with some of my parts preserved on the wall where she keeps her collection of fuzzy round dice.

She might be a shy little/average/oversized thing. I think she and Sherri should go lingerie shopping together to help her overcome her shyness, and then they could pose draped over your tractor in various poses which should do wonders for boosting membership in the forum. And we could vote for our favourite OPE gal. (sorry Buttlint, you won't be allowed to compete)

Paula,

Depending on how much you overflow your lingerie, having 200/400 vision might be a blessing.   And 90 mph is how fast my foot will be moving when it contacts your small/average/wide load backside for the past year of insults.

I think Shoveler will be gone for a while, traction takes a while to get released from.

After all that where can I go?  Snowshoveler is back under his soap box.  Although I did provide him a new one as the old one was getting kinda tattered from the rain.  (I do care - really I do)

The rock wall is one of Chris' prides so far.  He did all of it by hand in the dead heat of summer, I thought he was crazy as he had to dig most of that hole out by hand.  The doors that were there before were more like shutters.  They were at least 3 feet off the basement floor.  Not productive to getting anything in or out of the basement.  But the finished product was worth it.

As for lingerie - well I really don't think I'll need any if he's out under his soap box.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

That was just  you in the red thong ?  Ohhhh, I thought you were sitting there with your two sisters, and a friend or two.  Sorry.

Must be my fading eyesight. Happens when you are the other side of 90.

I'm always on a tangent. Holding a single thought for than a few minutes in your advancing years is difficult.

So I guess it is up to MissSnowshoveler to grace the forum with some native costumes from Victoria Secrets, and maybe a little artistic cultural dancing around the tractor.

Been battling a headache all day.  It goes with the season I guess.

Grass is growing, trees are turning green, and I always have headaches that bring to my knees.  It's great to read the posts and be able to smile.  (Even though it hurts.)

It is hard however to try and plan anything outdoors with a blinding headache.  So I'll have to let the ole boy out from under his soap box.  Someone has to be able to get something done.  I guess I'll have to go visit the lingerie store after all.

Don't know if that all makes any sense to anybody else but me, but I think I'll go lay down and see if the pounding will lessen just a little.

Keep up the good work, I need to be able to have something to smile about.
