Toiling On

Good Monday Morning


My new tool. I used it a few days ago and am happy with it. It will take a few days to be done, but I'm glad I can get to it. This also has a substantial saw blade I'll be able to use to go through all the scrub that grows wildly in unwanted places. A bonus.

We went to Fleet Farm for grain yesterday. Mark went to the grain, I went to the garden center. I found another eggplant so I now have my customary two plants. I also got fennel, the herb, for seeds. Fennel seeds are a favorite.

Otherwise, nothing much going on. Which is not a bad thing.

That looks like a handy device for the right folk in the right place

Yes, not having a lot going on is a blessing!

Miss Merry said...

That is pretty nifty!

Is this a deck cleaning tool? I'm wondering about also cutting? I guess I'm tool challenged.

Val Ewing said...

I have a similar one but mine was pretty wimpy. It did get around the flower beds well though!
Nice looking one, I love the ones with wheels, less hefting about!

I love your trimmer. I will have to consider that if ours fails. Fennel is one of my favorites. I bought a bulb today! When we lived in Pt Richmond, CA, wild fennel grew along the trails I used to walk with the dogs. It was lovely to have that sweet odor in the air as we brushed by the 'weeds'!

Awesome looking trimmer! Have fun!

Sandra said...

That would be me, AC!

Sandra said...

It sure can be, Cheerful.

Sandra said...

It is, Miss Merry!

Sandra said...

It's a grass and weed trimmer, Boud. ItAlso comes with a saw blade attachment for cutting brush.

Sandra said...

This one isn't windy, Val!

I love fennel.I haven't been able to find any this year. I don't know why. I use fennel seed a lot. The herb plant gives me lots of that!

Sandra said...

Thanks, FS.

Lori Skoog said...

I think I need to get one of those trimming tools!

DeniseinVA said...

Not bad at all, I like your new tool and I am itching to get down to the garden center. I am overdue.

Sandra said...

It works well, Lori.

Sandra said...

You will be in time for the clearance sales, Denise!

I need that trimmer! It would be so much easier on my poor shoulder.

Sandra said...

I have arthritis in both shoulders and it really is so much easier on me, Sue.
