Our neighbor's tree drops crap into our pool all the time and it is a gigantic pain, but we have learned the hard way to keep the cover on until after the spring pollen dump. It at least makes the beginning of swim season a little more bearable.<br />We have had the chicken crack many times and really enjoy it. Last night we had Philly cheesesteak casserole. Also really tasty. I try a new keto recipe each week, some good and some less than stellar.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-73132766928366237752019-03-09T09:01:06.967-08:002019-03-09T09:01:06.967-08:00In a different house in another region, we had to ...In a different house in another region, we had to remove a BEAUTIFUL. huge conifer from the front yard. We loved that tree, as did the whole neighborhood. But, it was impossible to grow anything, even grass, on the front yard as big as the tree was. Our front yard was nothing but pine needles. We didn't mind that, but the day we made an emergency call to the plumber because saw pine needles shoot up when we flushed the toilet made us realize the tree had to go. The neighbors weren't happy, as that tree had been there forever, but then again, they weren't the ones who paid the plumber.<br />Happy Saturday!Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-36369123442014514222019-03-09T08:30:46.869-08:002019-03-09T08:30:46.869-08:00That's great news about the tree - not so much...That's great news about the tree - not so much about your job.
