Beautiful blue skies and cool dry air looks to be the player of the week. Trees and shrubs are showing bright color and unlike most times we are finding something that needs to be do outside. After and crazy and sometimes unbelievable Winter Acadiana is in the thick of Spring.
I feel confident that we can put Winter behind us with no more freezes expected. This pattern of cool & dry will run for the week.
To Do List
TO DO LIST:
I have my outdoor chore To Do list made. After you finish this important job now would be a good time to make a repair list for outside. Take a walk through the yard and makes notes of lose siding, shingles and even gutters blocked with leaves, especially Live Oak, these tend to be very heavy and gutter guards don’t always hold them back. Check the roof also for fallen leaves that might have collected, leaving them on the roof may damage roof and eaves.
Check your trees fall branches that might have broken but not fell to the ground. You can remove them now to avoid damage they may cause when they fall later. The winter was tough on many plants and shrubs so you may have lost some. But look closely at the base of the plant there may be some life under all the dead leaves. This winter cause much of our plants to die back further then other winters. Before digging them up give them a little more time to recover. They may still be alive and with the warm weather here they break out a little later.
Any preventive maintenance you can get do now will only put you ahead for Hurricane Season 2010 starting in June.
Now the only thing left to do is buy a Fishing License and explore the waters of South Louisiana.
