The birds are chirping and the sun is out here in Wilton, Connecticut.  It’s one of the nicest days that I’ve seen all season.  Connecticut Landscaping is sure to be busy in the next couple of months.  Everyone should get in their outdoor activities before the weekend is up - showers ALL Saturday and Sunday.  Since it’s going to rain I was supposed to do all the outdoor cleaning for my 90 year old grandmother - yuck!  I was thinking about getting out of all the chores and calling Wilton Lawn Care or Weston Lawn Care, but I figure it’s nice out and I’ll call next time.

Besides doing chores for my grandmother, on Monday at my younger sister’s track and field meet.  It was a beautiful day and just before that Southport Lawn Care was getting the field ready for the events.  Not to “toot my own horn,” but the pictures that I took look like they could be in a magazine.  The grass was the same shade of green not one piece of grass was out of place.

All over the tv the past week all I hear is about the polygamist compound. I don’t know too much about it, but from what I do I have seen on TV. Apparently at least 400 children were taken away from a Texas Compound, after a girl had phoned the police that she had been abused and admitted that children as young as 14 were and are forced into marriage with older men and become pregnant.

I was watching it last night and they were talking with some women who refused to tell the interviewers their last name. Another question asked to the some of the women were, “how old were you when you got married?” The women refused to answer. And they claimed that no children are abused there. When I heard that children were being forced to marry I was disgusted and then when I heard that it was hundreds of children allegedly being abused I was sick to my stomach. On Nancy Grace, streaming across the bottom was something like “one man had up to 22 wives.” Who needs 22 wives? Who needs two wives?

The site I saw was something similar to the television show Little House on the Prairie. All the women wore long dresses down to their ankles and had long braided hair. They new nothing outside of the “camp.” From what it sounded like they were oblivious to anything happening in the “real” world. The world to them was the compound.

I hope that whoever did this and is responsible for this disgusting act gets arrested and the women are all taken into good care because no ONE deserves to be “trapped” and forced into anything they don’t want to do. Especially being practically locked up in a compound when one has the entire world at their fingertips.

I was flipping around last night on tv and nothing was on - then I came across UFC fighting.  What “sport?” Two guys kick the living day lights out of each other.  If you haven’t seen it before there are two men, who obviously are jacked and have muscles that have muscles.  Anyways they fight in a cage and have so many minutes to fight at a time.  When I was watching it this one guy just starting beating the crap out of the opponent.  There was little blood, but I have heard that some fights get so intense where there is blood everywhere.

Although I find this sport to be a mix between professional boxing and wwe it is fairly bearable to watch.  So ladies if your boyfriend’s or husband’s are into this — give it a shot it really isn’t that bad and it only lasts about an hour…I think, I could be wrong about that.

Bret Michaels is still with Ambre!  Yesterday (Sunday, April 20th) The Rock of Love 2 Reunion aired.  I got to watch bits and pieces of it…the Phillies were on tv so I found that to be a bit more interesting considering The Rock of Love 2 will be showing re-runs after re-runs.  While I was watching it I was surprised to hear that Destiny’s dad was sick.  I didn’t realize that he had cancer when her mom and dad were on the show.  I teared up when I heard that her dad died two weeks ago.

I couldn’t believe that the girl who’s names is slipping my mind but ends in Jo? …ohh it was Christy-Jo i think? was still with her husband.  The host was right when he said he was confused when he heard that she went on the show and then got back together with her husband…strange. I couldn’t believe the girl from last season started beating up on Daisy.  She was claiming that Daisy was trying to be like her and got pictures taken like her as if she were jealous.

Bret told everyone that he did sneak around before the show aired to see Ambre and Ambre actually went to a concert in Chicago to see what the rockstar life was like.  She giggled and said that it was interesting.

I have a friend who is attending Penn State University to become a landscaper for golf courses.  Two semesters ago he did a presentation on his current job working as a part time landscaper for a Country Club.  Before I would never have considered lawn services the least bit interesting or a good career to get into, but after actively listening it seems like an reputable job.  Now, I’m not sure how accurate this is but he mentioned that New England is the better area to get a career in lawn services.  Areas including Connecticut landscaping and so forth…

My friend, Brad, was thinking about moving to Connecticut and working for Newtown Lawn Care hoping that they would hire him.  Although he has plenty of time to look around for jobs - he doesn’t graduate for another year.  During his presentation he showed us the most beautiful pictures of the country club where he works.  He was telling us how important it is to correctly water, mow, etc.  And the time it takes till you see the results that you want.

The country club that he works at is about 5 miles from my house and it is right along a highway.  Never before I had I really taken notice to how well kept the grass was until now.  I go to a Penn State Branch campus and when he introduced to the class that he was going up to University Park for landscaping I didn’t even think that there was a degree in landscaping?  Apparently it is actually popular and easy to find jobs because everywhere you look there is some place that needs their lawn kept presentable.

Brad told the class that one of his friends does Weston Lawn Care in Connecticut and is having the time of his life.  He meets new people and loves perfecting peoples lawns.  I guess if you love being outdoors, meeting new people, and the smell of grass getting into the landscaping field is the way to go.

Everyone will admit that they have watched reality tv once or twice in their life. This weekend was my 21st birthday celebration at Atlantic City. All I can say is what a weekend. If you want to see reality go to AC!  I spent at least 3 hours in front of the same video poker machine - I can honestly see how people get addicted.  There were some unbelievable stories that I heard.  One man was down $7,000 and another couple was on their honeymoon and they were up $3,000.  I saw people waiting for “their” machines, elderly women playing multiple slots…

People are right when they say once you enter a casino it is a whole different world!

School is almost over…the last snow has fallen…it is lighter longer…& nights are becoming warmer.  Last night I was taking my puppy for a walk - I never noticed all the different types of animals that come out when it gets warmer.  My puppy is 17 weeks old and gets scared of everything and eats whatever he can find, especially when he knows it’s bad.  On our walk we must have saw at least 5 deer along the side of the road.  Luke (my puppy) was barking up a storm and then would jump behind my leg and tremble - it was the cutest thing in the world.

Luke’s new “thing” is to eat leaves and grass… he’ll be on the lawn and then find a leaf or loose pieces of grass put it in his mouth and run - as if I didn’t see him.   I’ll tell you what a pug may seem chubby, wrinkly, and slow but I would contest that any day!  Luckily for me Fairfield lawn care is coming to my house because where I live there are gardeners that take care of mowing, weeding, and trimming and I was worried that they sprayed something on the grass because last summer I had a big problem with ants due to the weather being so hot and rainy.

One of my friends has a brand new Shitzu and he loves to take the puppy for walks but he is having the same problem — the puppy loves to eat the LAWN.  I have a feeling Connecticut landscaping is going to be extremely busy this season - not just because of pets, but the weather.  I heard that this summer suppose to be on the HOT side.  Whenever the weather changes so quickly insects and animals go crazy!….YUCK!

Has anyone ever heard of getting a gift card to a landscaping company for their birthday before?  It was my 21st birthday on Monday and it is a day and night I will always remember.  I had classes during the day, but after I went to dinner with my family and then went out with my friends.

When I was having dinner with my family, it was me, my mom, dad, sister, and grandmother.  Now my grandmother who is 90 means well I know that, but I was kinda surprised when she gave me a giftcard for Monroe Lawn Care and told me I am in desperate need for Connecticut Landscaping.  She said that she knows how much time I like to spend outside in my yard and knows I have a brand new baby pug that loves playing outside and wants me to have the nicest lawn.

Out of all the gifts that I got I felt like this one was the most thought out and she really was doing something nice.  I can’t wait to see the results.  I know I will love the lawn care as much as my puppy will.  My friend who lives in Westport told me that she called, Westport Lawn Care and they are coming to her house in two weeks to check out the damage that winter has done on her lawn.

Summer is almost here!!

I was watching the Chelsea Lately Show the other night and New York from I love New York 2 was one of the guests.  If you missed it it was hilarious.  I don’t know what New York had on her legs, but they were so shiny.  She looked like she was going to slip right of the chair.  She mentioned that her and Tailor Made were having some problems, but it sounded like they were trying to work them out.  She really tried to avoid the subject.  I did notice that she still had some ring on her right ring finger.

Apparently she is going to have a new show coming out.  It is going to be about her pursuing her dream of becoming an actress.  Chelsea told New York that she loved the “hooking-up” from the past shows.  She asked her if there was going to be anything similar that would keep her interest.  New York said that it will be an interesting show and worth watching.  I guess we all (the viewers) will be the judge of the drama.

I was watching Sweet Sixteen on MTV and the one episode was of a snotty girl who wanted a Range Rover, like all the other stuck up girls and guys on that show.  Anyway the house that they live in was the house that Flavor of Love and I Love New York was aired in.  They rented it out for the shows.  I thought that was interesting.  The house looked completely different with the family living there.
