5 Awesomely Easy Landscaping Projects

Amy Mullen RE/MAX — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:41:42 +0000

Ramp up your curb appeal with cool landscaping projects you can easily pull off in a weekend.

Project #1: Install Rigid Flower Bed Edging

The setup: A crisp edge where the lawn meets the flower beds looks great and eases mowing. Opt for rigid edging — the flexible plastic stuff looks amateurish from day one.

Use a charged garden hose to lay out a smooth curve.

Tip: A “charged” garden hose full of water makes for a smoother, kink-free curve; charge up by turning on the spigot but leaving the sprayer off.

With the hose as your guide, use a lawn edger or spade to cut away excess sod and make an incision for the edging. Tap in the edging with a rubber mallet and add the stakes. Trim the edging with a hacksaw, using a speed square to mark for cuts.

Specs and cost: Steel — $1.25 per lineal foot; aluminum — $2.25 plf; rigid plastic or fiberglass — $1.65 plf.

Tools: Garden hose, flour or powdered chalk, lawn edger or spade, shovel, speed square, hacksaw, rubber mallet, hammer.

Project #2: Add an Earth Berm

The setup: Create an eye-catching front yard feature by shaping a few cubic yards of topsoil into an undulating berm. Topped off with mulch, groundcover, and bushes, a berm adds interest and buffers street noise.

Use a charged hose to outline the berm. Remove sod a couple of feet in from the perimeter. Add a few mounds, but max out at 3 feet high.

Specs and cost: Three cubic yards of soil is enough for a good-sized berm. Expect to pay $15-$20 per cubic yard and $15–$60 for delivery — a total of $60-$120.

Tip: Don’t be tempted by those bags of topsoil at the home center: At $2.50 per cubic foot, a cubic yard (27 cubic feet) will end up costing you $67.50.

Have a cubic yard of mulch dropped off as well ($15–$20). A dozen periwinkle starts, plus a few boxwood bushes and evergreens, will set you back another $140.

Total for an 18-foot-long berm: $215–$280.

Tools: Wheelbarrow, spade, shovel, garden rake, trowel.

Time: A day to form the berm, another half-day for planting and mulching.

Project #3: Build a Wall for a Raised Bed

The setup: A stacked flagstone wall for your raised beds has an old-world look that mellows any landscape. Best of all, you don’t have to be stonemason to build one.

Begin by laying out the wall with stakes and mason’s line. Tamp a level bed of sand for the first course. As you add courses, stagger joints at least 3 inches. Set each course back ¼-inch so the wall leans backward slightly. Once finished, back the wall with landscaping fabric before filling with topsoil.

Specs and cost: Choose a stone of consistent thickness. Flagstone might be limestone, sandstone, shale — any rock that splits into slabs. A ton of 2-inch-thick stone is enough for a wall 10 feet long and 12 inches high.

Cost: About $300 for stones and sand.

Tip: Permanent retaining walls should be backed by pea gravel for drainage. In some locations, walls taller than 3 feet high require a building permit.

Tools: Stakes and mason’s line, spade, shovel, a 2-by-4 that’s 8 feet long, a 4-foot level, garden rake, tamper.

Time: 1 day for a 10-foot-long wall that’s 12 inches high.
Project #4: Install a Flagstone Path

The setup: For a welcoming addition to your yard, add a flagstone pathway. Use a charged garden hose to mark a meandering path about 3 feet wide. Arrange flagstones within the path so they are 2–4 inches apart and mark their location with sprinkled flour.

Tip: Sprinkling flour over the stones creates a “shadow” outline on the ground. When you remove the stones, you’ll have perfect outlines for cutting away the sod.

Cut away 3–4 inches of sod beneath each stone, add a layer of sand, and level the flagstones as you place them.

Specs and cost: For a 40-foot path about 3 feet wide, plan on 2 tons of flagstones and about a cubic yard of coarse sand. Cost: About $550.

Tools: Garden hose, flour, spade, trowel, level.

Time: 1 day for a 40-foot path.

Project #5: Add a Brick Tree Surround

The setup: Installing a masonry surround for a tree eases mowing and looks great. All it takes is digging a circular trench, adding some sand, and installing brick or stone.

Tip: To create a nice, even circle around the base of your tree, tie a big loop of rope around your tree. Adjust the length of the loop so when you pull it taut, the free end is right where you’d like the outer edge of the surround to be. Set your spade inside the loop with the handle plumb — straight up and down. Now, as you move around the tree, the loop of rope keeps the spade exactly the same distance from the base of the tree, creating a nice circle.

Use the spade to cut into the sod all the way around the tree. Remove the rope, and dig out a circular trench about 8 inches deep and 6 inches wide. Add a layer of sand. Set bricks at an angle for a pleasing saw-tooth effect or lay them end-to-end. Fill the surround with 2–4 inches of mulch.

Curious what trees to plant? Our popular slideshow tells you which trees you should never plant in your yard.

Specs and cost: This is an instance where buying small quantities of materials at the home center makes sense. Brick pavers cost $.50-$1 each — figure about 20 per tree. A bag of mulch, enough for one tree, costs $2.50.

Tools: Rope, spade, trowel.

Time: 3 hours per tree.

alone time

andra carter — Sun, 19 May 2013 11:00:46 +0000

as an only child, alone time was never hard to come by, and i think it served me well. as a now-married grown-up, i can totally handle alone time, but prefer alone time with my hubby (as in, watching a movie at home, together, not out socializing with 10 other people).

what do you think of mr. wilde’s quote? and do you treasure or dread being alone?

18. Kool aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet. (Wow, and we drink this stuff)
19. Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint also Kool Aid in Dannon plain yogurt as a finger paint, your kids will love it and it won’t hurt them if they eat it!

25. Heavy dandruff – pour on the vinegar !

41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox , or 2 Bayer aspirin , or just use 7-up instead of water.
42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you ‘squeeze’ for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.

They are:

Monday = Blue,
Tuesday = Green,
Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow.

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green – Red – White – Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Don’t forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches. PowerAde won’t work.

Congratulations to the C/O 2013

Jade — Sat, 18 May 2013 22:17:04 +0000

I have been very fortunate to have made so many friends throughout the graduate school experience and to have created connections with students in different programs. So glad to have met all of you!

It doesn’t take a scientist (although I am one, actually a Master one) to notice all the graduation ceremonies popping up on Facebook. So while we all ”hood up” and celebrate our accomplishments, Maps & Genes wants to extend a “Congratulations!” to all of us, including the First Years becoming Second Years and the NEW First Years who were recently accepted.

I (Jade) also have to post a “We Did It!” photo of my classmates and I on Graduation Day!

Coming Up: Perhaps some reflection posts (although we might be too tired to reflect, so no promises), and also a “What’s Next for m&g” post!

LYRICS

Love is so bright
Like a diamond in the light
Love is so true
I can paint my world in blue

Love is so deep
And it makes my life complete
Like a mountain in the sky
Love is high, so high

It’s my life and I know it’s not forever
It’s my life and I’ll share it all with you
It’s my life, we were meant to be together
I’ll give my life to you

Love is so strong
In the heart where you belong
It’s a dream, a desire
And is burning like a fire

Love is so deep
And it makes my life complete
Like a mountain in the sky
Love is high, so high

It’s my life and I know it’s not forever
It’s my life and I’ll share it all with you
It’s my life, we were meant to be together
I’ll give my life to you

I’ll find my story and fight for my glory of love …

It’s my life and I know it’s not forever
It’s my life and I’ll share it all with you
It’s my life, we were meant to be together
I’ll give my life to you

Marco Mengoni - L'Essenziale (Italy) 2013

READ THE LYRICS

L’ ESSENZIALE

Sostengono gli eroi
se il gioco si fa duro
è da giocare
Beati loro poi
se scambiano le offese con il bene
Succede anche a noi
di far la guerra e ambire poi alla pace
e nel silenzio mio
annullo ogni tuo singolo dolore
Per apprezzare quello che
non ho saputo scegliere

Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
io compongo nuovi spazi
e desideri che
appartengono anche a te
che da sempre sei per me
l’essenziale

Non accetteró
un altro errore di valutazione
l’amore è in grado di
celarsi dietro amabili parole
che ho pronunciato prima che
fossero vuote e stupide

Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
io compongo nuovi spazi
e desideri che
appartengono anche a te
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
mi allontano dagli eccessi
e dalle cattive abitudini
tornerò all’origine

torno a te che sei per me
l’essenziale
L’amore non segue le logiche
Ti toglie il respiro e la sete

Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
mi allontano dagli eccessi
e dalle cattive abitudini
tornerò all’origine
torno a te che sei per me
l’essenziale

THE ESSENTIAL

Heroes say
When the game gets tough
It’s time to play
Bless them when, though
They mistake offenses for good acts
Happens to us too
To make war and then long for peace
And then in my silence
I annihilate your every single pain
And now I appreciate
What I wasn’t able to choose

As the world falls into pieces
I craft new spaces and needs
That belong to you too
You, whom I believe to be the ESSENTIAL

I won’t accept another
Wrong decision
Love can hide behind loving words
That I uttered before
they turned empty and vain

As the world falls into pieces
I craft new spaces and needs
That belong to you too
As the world falls into pieces
I move away from excesses
And bad habits
To go back to the origins

Going back to you
You, whom I believe to be the ESSENTIAL
Love won’t abide any rules
It takes your breath away
and quenches your thirst

As the world falls into pieces
I craft new spaces and needs
That belong to you too
As the world falls into pieces
I move away from excesses
And bad habits
To go back to the origins
To go back to you, whom I believe to be the ESSENTIAL

Ég Á Líf

Lagði ég af stað í það langa ferðalag
ég áfram gekk í villu eirðarlaus
Hugsaði ekki um neitt, ekki fram á næsta dag
Einveru og friðsemdina kaus
Ég á líf, ég á líf
yfir erfiðleika svíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf vegna þín
Þegar móti mér blæs
yfir fjöllin há ég klíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf, ég á líf

Ég skildi ekki ástina sem öllu hreyfir við
þorði ekki að faðma og vera til
Fannst sem ætti ekki skilið að opna huga minn
og hleypa bjartri ástinni þar inn
Ég á líf, ég á líf
yfir erfiðleika svíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf vegna þín
Þegar móti mér blæs
yfir fjöllin há ég klíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf vegna þín

Og ég trúi því
já ég trúi því
kannski opnast fagrar gáttir himins
Yfir flæðir fegursta ástin
hún umvefur mig alein

Ég á líf, ég á líf
yfir erfiðleika svíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf vegna þín
Þegar móti mér blæs
yfir fjöllin há ég klíf
Ég á líf, ég á líf vegna þín
Ég á líf, ég á líf ,ég líf

I AM ALIVE

I set out upon that long journey
I walked on lost and restless
Didn’t think about anything until the following day.
I chose peace and tranquility.
I am alive, I am alive
I glide above every hardship
I am alive, I am alive
When the winds turn against me

I climb over the high mountains
I am alive, I am alive
I didn’t understand about love, which can move everything
Didn’t dare to embrace and to simply exist
I felt like I didn’t deserve to open up my mind
And let the bright love enter within

I am alive, I am alive
I glide above every hardship
I am alive, I am alive
When the winds turn against me
I climb over the high mountains
I’m alive, I’m alive because of you

And I believe it
Yes I do believe it

Perhaps the wondrous gates of heaven will open
Beautiful love will flood out
to embrace me alone
I’m alive, I’m alive
I glide over every difficulty
I am alive, I am alive

When the winds turn against me
I climb over the high mountains
I am alive, I am alive because of you
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive

READ THE LYRICS

Tu m’as mise K.O d’entrée
Il faut croire que j’ai bien aimé
Liens de cuir et mains de soie

Qui blesses-tu et dans quel port
Jusqu’à faire rougir l’aurore?
Tu m’as jeté comme un sort

Je vais te faire l’enfer
De là où tu te perds
Regarde bien derrière
Et ce sera moi

Tu m’as fait pleurer à vif
Mon cou porte encore ta griffe
J’aimais échanger de peau
No limits, c’est un classique
J’aimais nos amours toxiques
Celles qui font que tout est beau

Je vais te faire l’enfer
De là où tu te perds
Regarde bien derrière

Je vais te faire l’enfer
De là où tu te perds
Regarde bien derrière
Et ce sera moi

Je vais te faire l’enfer
Tu vas manquer d’air
A moins une, à moins que
On se retrouve à deux
A moins qu’il nous faille
Renoncer aux batailles

Je vais te faire l’enfer
Tu vas manquer d’air
A moins une, à moins que
On se retrouve à deux
A moins qu’il nous faille
Renoncer…

Je vais te faire l’enfer

You knocked me out from the start
At the end of the day I kind of liked it :
Hands of silk and leather ties….

Where and whom do you hurt
Till you make dawn blush….?
You cast me off like a spell

I’m gonna give you hell
Right where you’re loosing yourself
Have a good look in the rear mirror
I ‘ll be the one standing behind you

You made me cry with burning tears
My neck still carries your brand
Skin to skin , fear to fear …

“No limits ” that’s a classic
our love was first name for toxic
but beauty justifies it all…

I’m gonna give you hell
Right where you’re loosing yourself
Have a good look in the rear mirror
I ‘ll be the one standing behind you

I’m gonna give you hell
’till you’re out of breath
unless, unless..
two becomes our odd number again
unless..
we see our battles fall into oblivion

You say you don’t believe in signs from up above
And you laugh at the thought of putting your faith in stuff like loveYou never see the rainbow you just curse the rain
You say you wannt believe
But it’s just not worth the pain today

That’s all fine if that’s how you want it to be
But if you’re feeling alone and afraid and you can’t breathe

Believe in me yeah
Believe in me yeah
Believe in
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I’d never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me

You come and you go when there’s never no compromise that’s why
The seconds and the minutes of the days of your life
Go crawling by

That’s all fine it that’s how you want it to be
But you’re feeling along and afraid and you can’t breathe

Believe in me yeah
Believe in
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I’d never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me

What-cha gonna do when your ship is sinking
And your crying out for help
And just a segull’s listening
In the dark of the night in the middle of the fight
When you’re reaching out for something and there’s nothing

Believe in me yeah
Believe in me
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I’d never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me

I am stuck here with another white cat. Can u believe it?

There I was outside with some white cold flakes of wet stuff freezing my gorgeous fur. I had just been sleeping along side my long time keeper then like a light switch, I was thrown in a pile of fluffy white coldness. I was freezing, wet n cold. For days I cried and tried to get in,he didn’t let me in or feed me. I tried to climb to a safe place on the porch but for some reason my front paws didn’t dig into the wood like big Tom next door. Oh no he saw me! As big Tom was beating the crap out of me somehow I was captured but in a cage, in a dark room where big Tom circled me for days. Doomed, I was so scarred. I wanted my daddy. My daddy didn’t want me. Where was I?
As I pooped and pee on myself I was happy I was not outside in that freezing white stuff and now I have food. It so dark all the time.I remember my daddy once told me about God he said “God answers prayers kiddo”. I am not sure what a prayer is but: God get me out of here I want a real home again please meow!
Then one day a lady and a man put me in that house that moves. Oh no !I thought more of that horrible white stuff is falling from the sky so much is falling I can’t see myself. Big Tom snickered when I was carried out singing that ” dumping on the road song” all cats know about that song. Oh no not again we stopped I was being carried, all I could see is white white white. Knock knock, barking OMG no what is it?
As soon as that door open I could smell the love in the air, the safety,the other cats, I like dogs! Most importantly endless amounts of food. It wasn’t my daddy but:
Hey this God does answer prayers.

BWC came to me a couple years ago. She was not suppose to stay. I was winding down my rescue efforts due to my funds ran out,I do mean mine. The 501c funding took a back seat to the care of the cats. Anyway I wasn’t accepting any cats @ the time I was in the middle of placing 13 kittens. I had also been forced to move to a 1 bedroom apartment. You get the picture. The tragedy is Bones ( my cat named after Star Trek doc) didn’t want BWC there so she ran away and got run over and died.
BWC is here Bones is not. There is no logic and as far as the law of attraction. I know I didn’t attract Bones death. Back to my point
Anyway people shouldn’t dump their kids BWC is declawed was found in canton Ohio. Her daddy was evicted. He should have done something other than being lazy taking the easy way out. The landlord actions were that of a coward. Reporting an abandoned pet is part of being a landlord. You may think all and all the story has a happy ending for BWC maybe. Understanding the importance of being responsible,committed and most importantly the power of prayer ,belief, and gratitude and how they shape and create your now world you then understand that is all that is needed. So get praying, believing and be thankful

Runners - they're everywhere!

jenereesa — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:30:39 +0000

While at Kohl’s this morning, I saw a guy in a Broad Street Run shirt. Naturally, I had to approach him.

I mean, right? This is natural. Everyone does this. And if you don’t, you totally should. (Similar to the runner’s wave. If you don’t know about it, check out Ashley at RatherBeRunnin’s post.)

Approaching other runners while in a non-running setting can be a bit tricky.

Bound: Bounding up to them like a puppy off-leash for the first time is an option, but the potential to scare them off is high. I usually only bound if I know the person and they are already well aware of my brand of crazy.

Direct approach: Less scary than the Bound for the recipient. Simply walk up a person and say “Love the Broad Street Run – it was my first time running this year. Have you run it more than once?”

Sidle: The word sidle is a bit off-putting because I always picture a shady person in a trench coat sliding up next to you and offering some illegal substance.

However, in this case, it’s running and so it takes on a more casual, less Shady McShadester connotation.

Find them in an aisle. Ideally, aim for one that’s not, like, underwear or Imodium. “So, hey, I see you were at Broad Street on May 5^th. Funnily enough, so was I.” (As were 39,998 others. It’s actually not that rare – I’ve seen three people wearing these shirts in the past three days.)

Mutual wearing: The best is when you’re wearing the same shirt at the same time and place. Serendipitous!

There’s that mutual recognition: you both look at the other person’s shirt, look down at your own shirt and then say something witty like “Nice shirt, where’d you get it?”

It’s absolutely glorious.

During an event: Okay, so this is a bit different because obviously at race events, you’re going to see race shirts of races past. However, I got super excited (it doesn’t take much, you’ve probably figured this out by now) during Broad Street when I saw a cheering guy on the median wearing one of these:

I felt like he was there specifically for me. As I got my high five from him I yelled out something like “Yeah, AC April Fools!” Because I’m limited to four or five word sentences while I’m running. But we totally would have been besties were I not in the middle of a race. I’m sure of it.

When I was younger, my mom talked to everyone. At the supermarket (aka the “stupidmarket” as we so brilliantly called it) she chatted it up with the people at the deli counter, in the aisles, on the checkout line – everyone. I was mortified. Do you know that person? “No,” she’d reply more often than not. “I’m just being friendly.”

Pooks is not nearly as timid as I was when I was a kid; when I approach a runner and he’s with me, he’ll chime in with his thoughts. As we walk away, he always asks if I knew the person. And I can say, with great authority, “Well, of course! We ran a race together.”

Am I missing any ways to approach a runner? Have any fun stories to share?

Wollaton Hall and Park are open of course; but not far away (once upon a time even the park would have been forest!) in Sherwood Forest, the Vikings have turned up for the weekend!!

http://www.edwinstowe.co.uk/documents/visitors/sherwood-forest-vikings.html

Edwinstowe is the pretty village next to Sherwood Forest, and their invite to the theme weekend is on the link.

You really can meet the Vikings in the Forest…for ‘real’ …well real actors…
Sounds fun!! We were of course overrun by Vikings in the 9th -12th Centuries!!
