Wish I could. find a good Mexican gardener in my area. My niece in Orlando has one, and her garden is the envy of all.

Just someone who would not pull out my perennials because they “look dead”.

Heck, I look dead too, in my ninth decade of life, but I am still kicking!

My problem has always been finding someone who can do small jobs (small for them, not for me!). For example, a piece of siding blew off the house last week, right in the gable end of the side. I called someone and they said ‘yeah I can come look at it and see what it would cost to fix it’ and I mentioned I had some other jobs that need to be done, to sweeten the pot. No show, and not responding to texts and phone calls.

So today, I went to the BBB website and looked for handyman companies in my area. Some that said they were handyman do things more like kitchen remodels. But I found one I thought might fit-listed all this stuff he does, said ‘no job too small’, ex-military, and when looking to hire someone his Facebook post said ‘dependability a MUST!’.

So when I called, he said he could do that. Asked where was I located; told him and he said he was right around the corner. He was here in 5 minutes. He needs to replace the vinyl vent piece on it; he said he had a piece at his shop that would work and he’ll be here tomorrow to fix it.

Now I’m working on a ‘honey do’ list!!!
