Walk outside and look at the base of your trees. If the mulch is piled up against the bark in a cone, pull it back.
That volcano holds moisture against living tissue. Bark is a tree's skin, the barrier keeping disease and rot out of the living wood underneath. Pack mulch against it and you're keeping it chronically wet, which invites fungal disease and insect damage. Do it long enough and it kills the tree, slowly, from the base up.
The fix takes 2 minutes. Rake the mulch back so there's a clear gap between the pile and the trunk, a flat donut instead of a cone. No mulch touching bark.
Once you see it, you'll notice it on every street in your neighborhood.
@TrooperBenKs@panerabread I'm not a sip club member, but Panera was always one of my favorites for breakfast or lunch. I dont go at all anymore. Prices have increased while the quality and quantity of food has decreased. After several disappointing visits in a row, I'd had enough.
The Cat in the Hat on aging…
I cannot see, I cannot pee,
I cannot chew, I cannot screw.
Oh my God, what can I do?
My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks,
no sense of smell, I look like hell.
My body is drooping,
I have trouble pooping.
The golden years have come at last.
The golden years can kiss my ass!
President @realDonaldTrump will go down in history as one of the greatest and most consequential presidents we have ever had.
His ability and willingness to make bold and consequential decisions for the benefit of future generations based on the hard and cold facts at hand rather than short-term political considerations is one of his greatest strengths.
No longer are we governed by the politics of the weak who have brought us close to the edge with their weakness and self-interested short-termism.
God bless our nation, our military, and our president. Let’s all pray for our troops who risk their lives on behalf of all of us so we can look forward to a world where evil is eliminated and good prevails.
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
15 things to do with your mother while she is still alive. One day, you’ll wish you had.
1. Ask her about her life before you were born. She had dreams, fears, and a whole world that existed before she became mom.
2. Record her voice while she’s doing something ordinary like Cooking, Scolding, Laughing. One day, that voice will feel priceless.
3. Ask her what the hardest phase of her life was. She’ll probably talk about sacrifice without calling it sacrifice.
4. Learn one recipe she makes without measuring anything. Food is how many mothers express love. Appreciate the food she makes, you don’t know deep inside she will feel very happy.
5. Take photos of her doing everyday things.
Not posed or dressed up. Only Candid. These will mean more than any perfect picture.
6. Tell her thank you for things she never got credit for. She remembers everything, even if she never mentions it.
7. Tell her you’re proud of her.
Most mothers hear complaints far more than appreciation.
8. Ask her what she worries about the most.
Chances are, it’s still you.
9. Sit with her without checking your phone.
Just be present. That’s rare now.
10.Ask her what she wanted to be when she was young and listen without interrupting.
11. Hug her for no reason. Don’t rush it.
https://t.co/wuxftUs97U her even when you have nothing to say. One day, you’ll miss the sound of her answering.
13.Take a photo of just the two of you together. Frame it.
14.Ask her about her parents. Her stories keep generations alive.
15.Tell her something you’re struggling with.
No matter how old you are, it still matters to her that she can protect you.
If your mother is still alive, please do at least one thing from this list today. You’ll never regret it & take care of her health.
RT this for someone who still has time.
WOW! The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks shared this photo of an albino fawn!
Game wardens say the chance of this happening in wild deer is 1 in 30,000 to 1 in a million.

Your ignorance is astounding. Data indicate that 80% of people with autism will never live independently. 50% will never hold a job. The new ADDM data indicate that roughly 60% of the four-year-olds diagnosed with autism have intellectual disability. This is an unrelenting tragedy and a true epidemic. Families are brought to their knees, daily, managing self injurious behavior, aggression, pain, multiple medical comorbidities, and giving intense support for basic activities of daily living. Families & affected individuals miss out on lifecycle events, community celebrations, holidays. Your take is disgusting. And
dangerous.
