I've been needing a new weedwacker and after some talk with my boys the last couple days I stopped at Blowes on the way home and bought a Troy Built 4 cycle 28cc Super Bronco. Works great, quiet, takes attachments like brush hogs, blowers, chainsaws and the like and with a bit more use I'll be in shape enough to use it for more than ten minutes. I've done minimal damage to most desireable plants and NO personal injury other than a bit of rubbery feeling in the wrists.
I'm really praying for rain now.....water collection system empty...The weather people say rain on the weekend
I'm trying to figure out how to do this from my new Blackberry curve. The menus are all different from pc and I'm used to typing with all my fingers...still feels like my fingers are too fat.
Todays pictures are of new blooms on the silvermound (I'm now told by Sarah that it is Taurus Cerastium and not silvermound) and the soon-to-bloom purple Iris.

Hmmmmmmm... your silver mound looks suspiciously like Taurus Cerastium, or Snow in Summer.
Perhaps you could train the Blackberry to run the weed whacker?
I'm bound to make many more naming faux pas. Perhaps I should just start labeling future pictures with purple thingy for example. Covers me should I be challenged on my plant knowledge.
PS: I've corrected my label...I hope you're right about that name.
Strange you should suggest training the blackberry to use the whacker. I was thinking about training the weedwacker on the blackberries in back that are trying to take over the world.
I am 99% sure. Silver Mound doesn't have a discernable blossom and it is world renowned for its tidy, very-moundy shape. It wouldn't be raggedy at all this time of year.
Actually naming fox passes can be fun. Just think of me trying to say "oeuf" and all the ensuing merriment at the expense of my mono-lingual mouth.
