Do you love your yard?

I do!

Then you need Finer Cut Lawn Maintenance.

David Resnick, a longtime friend of mine owns and operates Finer Cut. He is the best yardman you could possibly find.

Why? Because he cares.

Yesterday I came home from work to find David blowing and raking leaves in my yard and then sucking them up with the riding machine. I can now see my beautiful rock wall again. Last spring he did the same thing and saved me days of work. My whole neighborhood was jealous.


Look! No leaves!










This summer when I had an old tree removed from my front yard I needed some dirt to fill it in. I picked up the phone, called the friendly owner or Finer Cut Lawn Maintenance, and that day I had dirt delivered. Unlike a lot of people, David didn’t just drop off the dirt. He hefted it from truck to hole and raked it so it looked nice and I could put plants in it.

Of course, Finer Cut Lawn Maintenance does more than blowing leaves and filling in dirt holes. Finer Cut does mowing, landscaping, pruning, mulching, even snow removal. You name it Finer Cut does it. And they do it well. Actually, Finer Cut Lawn Maintenance does it better than any.

Don’t just take my word for it. Ask my jealous neighbors.

In the meantime, call David Resnick at 603-645-1711 and tell him you are ready to have a Finer Cut Lawn today.

Gardening is so much fun. . .and wicked hard work!

What did you do this weekend?


My garden/yard is another creative side of me that I like to share every once and a while.

The first three pictures show what I accomplished on Saturday. . .cleaning out my rock wall.

Look at all those leaves and limbs!


The next three photos show what I worked on Sunday, the hottest day of the year so far.

It only took 6 bottles of water to get all this work done. Can you imagine how dirty I was by the time I finished. Not a pretty picture!

Where did all the trees and leaves go? Did you see the tiger lilies I planted near the wall?

Two days of sun equals lots of garden work

After nine straight days of work and lots of icky rainy weather, I finally got to play in the sun. Yippee!

You'll notice the picture to the left of my two cats, Mischief and Mayhem. Yup, that's them watching me do all the hard work while they chill out in the window. Lucky little buggers!

But, all the work in the yard was well worth it. After 335 pavers, I have a garden border.
What do you think?

I still have one section around the backside of the old apple tree, but that's it. That's also for another warm weekend. My last yard task for this year is to clean up along my rock wall so I can plant flowers. There is a lot of rock wall. :-)


My neighbor made me the sign in front of the tree that says WELCOME. I'm still waiting on her to paint me a sign that says AUTHOR.

Besides BBQ and fireworks

As part of my July 4 celebration, I not only enjoyed some BBQ and fireworks, I put a border around my garden. At least the front half of it has a border.

I trenched and placed 160 paver stones around my beautiful flowers and it's not done yet.

I still have to add the border around the backside and there are several smaller gardens that I need to border as well.

I believe I will make another trip tomorrow morning to get more stone so I can get it done this weekend.

Now if I can just get the blister on my hand to go away!
