Yeah, things would have been a lot worse, but several of the plants I like are toxic to dogs and cats. We get a lot of strays around here and I don't want to harm them.
I retired from the state, so I'm doing retired annuitant work part time to pay for all this. I emailed the university to see if they will have carts for use at the sale. I told them I was buying about 50 plants (54 plus whatever my yard guy wants). She was impressed. Of course, she advised me to show up very early. The sale starts at 9 am. Apparently garden people like to start lining up at 7 am... You folks are killing me here.
The utility company is going to help cut down the tree since it's in the lines. Hopefully this week or next at the latest. Yeah!!!!
I've just ordered my second birdbath, a sundial, and a cute dragonfly shaped "birdbath" that is too small for a birdbath, so it will just be a decoration.
And I am getting a gargoyle to sit on the roof above and guard the garden.
