Ways to Celebrate Gardening in August! By Teresa Watkins Summertime Summertime
and the livin? is easy! Well, here in
Florida, it should be easy! It?s a great time for just enjoying the shade in
your backyard, napping in your hammock after mowing the lawn, listening to the
birds sing, and sipping fresh-squeezed lemonade from your own tree. Summertime is the time of year to relax and
enjoy some lazy days: go on vacations, have family over for holiday cookouts,
and don?t be concerned with having a perfect lawn. Life is stressful enough
without worrying about the grass growing. With the temperatures and summer
rain, or if necessary ? irrigation, your grass is going to grow just fine. Enjoying your time outside means taking special
precautions as well. The summer months also, are the heaviest times for
mosquitos and the season for the West Nile Virus. Please follow these simple
steps to ensure that your neighborhood doesn?t fall prey to lurking mosquitoes:
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now
don't you cry
One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that mornin'
Ain't nothin' can harm you
With your daddy
And your mammy
standin' by
George
