Scammers using "official" IRS stationary to try to take advantage of the innocent elderly (relatives). Phone calls to the house by different people to further paint the picture of potential windfall. Pretty elaborate. To get ~$2 million, they had to pay taxes first (~$167,000) that they would get back later. Minor vocabulary issues in the text were an additional cue if the absurdity of the context weren't enough to begin with. They went to the police and immediately the problem stopped but if you have elderly relatives.....

Spring flowers...they're "ok." Fall foliage...makes the blood flow and the heart beat louder. Amsonia hubrectii. Not one person has ever come to the nursery asking for this beautiful deer proof trouble free perennial. This plant is twenty years old.

The Bizarre Truth About Purebred Dogs (and Why Mutts Are Better) - Adam Ruins Everything

When Lucy, the superb nursery dog, died in July 2014, I asked our vets Jeff Santee of Countryside Animal Hospital, and Michelle Lemothe of Broad River Animal Hospital what breed to get for a long happy life, and a disease free existance. Within 2 nanoseconds they both came up with the same answer: "get a mutt." Dunno how accurate this video is, but it sure sounds good to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCv10_WvGxo

From dessicated wasteland to lush verde in a few days with white birch landscape design (not to mention some sweat and diesel fuel). Native nyssa sylvatica will soon turn a brilliant crimson red. Perfect timing with the coming rains.

Pics show how dry the soil really is as we prepare to install sod yesterday. The rain we just got is enough to get your car wet but thats about all. Got trees and shrubs you care about? Next summer, remember this picture.

Four days after hydroseeding we have a baby lawn helped in part by nightly dew forming on all surfaces outdoors. Sure beats yard work in the spring.
