Happy Weekend! It’s going to be more yard work for me today if the weather cooperates. Moss has taken over the lawn, and it’s gotta come out so I can try to reseed grass. The trees have really grown in the 15 years I’ve lived in my no longer brand new house, and I’ve gone from being in full sun to now full shade. Boo! It’s gonna be a lot of work. If anyone has any tips, I’m all ears!
But I’ll take a little time out to read this week’s posts from Beauty Spotlight Team. Hope you will too!

Hi Allison! I hear ya on the tree front. Because of all the shade and roots from our trees then on top of that add an abundance of rain Brian and I look like mud and moss farmers. 😉 We currently have another good crop this year. lol I have no tips. I finally surrendered and gave all my cute outdoor planters and gardening tools away this year. Instead I have wind chimes and sun catchers hanging in the trees. I recently got rid of a pair of shoes and thought about throwing them up in a tree too. ha ha
How clever, Laura! Are your trees throughout your yard or on the edge? I love wind chimes. I’ve got 2 on my deck. The tree limbs are too high up for me to reach! My backyard is a decent size but it borders on the woods/conservation land so I’ve got tall oaks, growing beech trees, and hemlocks with a few white pines casting a shadow on the yard. I’ve given up on my vegetable garden, but the perennial border that’s against my house still gets enough sun for me to grow perennials. But the grass looks so awful. I hate that bright yellow green moss! At least I’m in better shape than you guys since I don’t have mud. My yard is really wet (we’ve been having some rain but not as much as you) and it’s going to snow on Monday! ick I am going to try again with planting grass but I’ll wait till it warms up next week. I was hoping that Jeff would be able to help me rake up the moss today, but it’s raining! Boo. We’re going to the movies later instead.
I made the mistake 16 years ago of planting trees all around the house for shade. I never thought about how eventually we would be under a canopy of tree limbs. Although from the street it looks nice. I do not know which is worse the moss/mud in the Spring or the dust bowl in the Summer. I miss my flowers and pretty yard. I will say in the hottest part of the summer the temperature in our house is many degrees cooler with those trees. The A/C does not run as much.
We did not get any rain today but we are getting wind gusts up to 50+ miles per hour. We may lose a few trees if this keeps up. 🙂 I dont even care if they land on the house as long as Brian and I are not on the way. I want to move anyway. ha ha Hope you and Jeff had a good day together. Brian and I have been watching The Andy Griffith Show on Netflix. Oh wow! the snow just started here. It looks like a blizzard with this wind.
So we’ve both been in our houses about the same length of time. For me, it’ll be 15 years in June. And like you I planted some trees on my property too, but I planted 3 Bradford pears in the front but closer to the sidewalk and a red maple and an ash on the other side of my driveway. You were smart to think about cooling the house down with trees, but the flip side is, well, shade! I’m going to have to move some of my hybrid day lilies because they’re not getting enough sun to bloom, and I’ll replace them with hostas. One of my girlfriends has a gigantic hosta garden, so I’ll ask her for some of her cast-offs. I hope you were able to batten down the hatches and that your house didn’t sustain any damage from the winds! I hear we’ll be getting your weather tomorrow. The weather man is saying rain, snow, thunderstorms, and gale force winds, and on Monday, 1-3″ of snow. I’m hoping they’re wrong. Love Andy Griffith! Such a sweet show. We went to see Eye In The Sky, and it was excellent.
thanks for the roundup of these lovelies!! lots of fun reviews and things to check out. i can’t wait. hope your monday is wonderfil.
