Lots of yardage

I got to do some yard work today since it was beautiful outside. Cut some branches off some trees that are on the other side of our fence. Finished putting some mulch down in the front. Put some grass seed down in the front as well since everything looks ill. Put some limestone down in the backyard.

Last but not least, I tried to get rid of a few pesky carpenter bees. There were a few male bees hovering about trying to be all macho and buzzing around the area where the female bee bored a hole (actually two holes) underneath the outer board of the back of the house. Bloody pests. I sprayed some insect killer in the holes and then plugged them up with wood putty. I thought I had got the one bee because it was right in the opening but it must have moved. After I put the putty, I could still hear her scraping and scratching. Hopefully the insecticide got in there, or by stuffing the hole it will not breath in there.
