A very very long day was had.

First, last night just as I was about to go to bed, there was a huge crash out front. I ran out to check.

Drunk driver smashed into a neighbor's parked car. Called 911 and waited for the police and all. Didn't get to bed until about midnight.

Up this morning and got to the plant sale by 7:15 am. Third in line!

Got all on my list except the hummingbird sage. Somehow got 2 extra butterfly bushes.

Was home by 10:15 am. Started positioning plants in the yard. Yard guy and helper got there and helped dig holes. Then I plopped the plants in while they put up the new fence section.

I only planted to the right of center. I'll hold off planting the rest until the roof and tree are done (hopefully both next week). I think we planted 21 today in total.

Tomorrow will plant the 5 butterfly bushes out back. I gave the extra two away - one to my yard guy and one to my friend.

We got my front faucet working and a new hose, so later tonight, I'll water the front yard and plants. They all seem to be happy. The ones who had been a bit sad (the dog jumped on them in the car) have perked up nicely.

We're going to wait to put down the bark until they have settled in a bit and hopefully the catmints grow up a bit - I'm afraid they'll get lost in the bark at this size.
