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.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
