When we were at the Home Depot the other day, one of the items Terry was searching for was something to treat the clover, weeds and Dallas grass that grew despite the freezing temperatures and the snow. We talked about calling in a yard service, but this is the year we are concentrating on simplifying and not spending extra money, so he will 'do it himself'.   We looked at several products we have used unsuccessfully through the years until we cast our eyes on the new stuff out by Scott products. Guaranteed!   Proceed with caution.... 

The info said:   


Clears Out Dollarweed, Clover & 49 Other Listed Weeds Guaranteed
Kills 2X More Weed Types* *vs. Previous Formulation
Builds Strong, Deep Grass Roots
May be used on St. Augustinegrass, (including Floratam), Bermudagrass, Centipedegrass, Zoysiagrass, Seashore Paspalum, and Buffalograss


Being an organic household this does not fall into that organic list I keep for use outside.  I may have to give on the front yard and side yard. Around the garden... no way.  I then did an online chat with Scotts.  There seem to be lots of rules on using the product. (It may be returned) How can you build stronger anything if you are pumping in chemicals?  

When I think about our lives and the 'weeds' that grow in them, there is no magic way to 'treat' it all. We have to take the 'weeds' one at a time and pull them to remove them from our lives. There are no super chemicals, there is only us as a person that can make changes to keep those 'weeds' from growing once we pull them out... including the roots. There certainly is NO guarantees. 

I spent twenty minutes on a 'chat' with someone at Scott. It took him a very long time to answer the three questions I submitted to him.  Really.   My questions were 1)how safe for the water systems 2) how safe for animals 3) How close to a garden area can you use it?   I would think those would be pretty common questions. Results... Bonus S by Scott's is going back to the Home Depot and Terry and I will be handing pulling clover and watching videos from the Dirt Doctor.  When the Scott help told me I could not apply it to grass areas under the canopy of trees...???... there is not much grass on our land that does not have trees and shade.  Could not use around gardens.  Gotta love and respect Howard Garrett the Dirt Doctor. We just joined for the year. I watched a video and did you know SUGAR...just sugar will accomplish much of this?  Hum what about red ants?  Will share more after we watch more. http://dirtdoctor.com 

The iris is a painting from 2005 era. It was of one of my mother's iris in bloom.  I love the contrast of red and green. Hope you enjoyed it too!

Blessings, Laurie

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
