A new species of ant has started popping up all along the Gulf Coast - from Miami to Houston, this invasive new ant is breeding quickly because it has no natural predators. These insects are called “Crazy Ants” because they forage in erratic paths and move around in seemingly drunken patterns. Tom Rasberry, a Houston exterminator, was one of the first people to sound the alarm about these voracious ants. That’s why they are spelled Rasberry, and 2008-05-15 11:04:24 PDT http://technorati.com/search/site.cleanairgardening.com/info/crazy-rasberry-ants-a-new-invasive-species.html 19 23 Clean Air Gardening blog — Gardening tips and advice from Clean Air Gardening. http://sy6.net/archives/2008/05/15/about-outdoor-furniture/ http://sy6.net/archives/2008/05/15/about-outdoor-furniture/ Thu, 15 May 2008 11:02:38 -0700 Another commonly used piece of outdoor furniture is picnic tables. Picnic tables provide fun and relaxation for the entire family. It is nice to pack some food go outside and just enjoy the outdoors with your family by having a little picnic. Picnic tables are pretty expensive. A good durable picnic table will cost you more than six hundred dollars sometimes more. Of course, you don’t have to own a picnic table to use one.

Apparently we are true farmers because we have only the best and that is John Deere. I feel it in my heart so I know it’s true. Here I am modeling this hott new hat dad gave me the other day.

A familiar voice jolts me. I look up from seedlings and weeds, a trowel clutched in one hand and mud smeared across my legs. A neighbor smiles at me as she walks her yellow lab by my yard. I suppose to the untrained eye, I do appear to be "working". Dirt has taken up permanent residence under my fingernails and stains the cracks and cuts in my hands.

A few annual purchases from this morning, I seem to be drawn to all of the purple leafed plants this year, not sure where that' coming from.

The truth is, if you live in a suburban area, don’t have a big yard and don’t have a lot of trees and brush to worry about, the answer is simple; get yourself an electric saw.
