There is a Bulb for Everything

One of my blog readers pointed out that I should use a clear bulb for my outside lighting for front door. I've never thought about how a bulb would make a difference. I went to HT to get a new clear bulb. When I was shopping, I realized, for the first time, each bulb has a recommended use on the label. Some bulbs are suited for table lamps and some are suited for ceiling fans etc. I had no idea... So here is the before and after pictures for the outside lighting. What a difference.

How I Killed My Grass with Weed & Feed

I bought Sta-Green Weed & Feed from Lowe's because my lawn was not looking very healthy due to the dry weather. On the back of the bag, the instruction said not to use the product if the temperature is over 90 degrees. However, it did not say the reasons why.

Since I'm busy with school, work, and other things in my life, I have to do the yard work whenever I can. That weekend, the temperature was over 90 degrees but I've ignored the instruction and used the product. You can see the result in the pictures.

You can see where I walked to spread the Weed & Feed. My friend and the jury-rig master, Jared, said I've "burnt" my grass and I should wash the area out with water.

We had few rain storms since then and I was hoping that would do the job. Well, that didn't really work. It's been few weeks and my lawn is still looking the same. Oh, well. Maybe I should draw a picture of a dog next time.
