Happy Wednesday! Today here in the southwest suburbs of Chicago it looks like it is going to be a warm one. High around 88F and I don’t have a clue what the feels like will be once they add in humidity. Yesterday I cut the backyard and had to trim away almost all of one…

I hope you had a good weekend and have a great week ahead of you. I am hoping that the temps outside stay down in the 30F’s range this week. Snow and ice last week followed by mid 50F’s with rain all day Saturday turned my back yard into a lake. Not a good thing…
