60 degrees going all the way up to 81 today on what should be a busy Monday.
worked my tail off yesterday, did at least 8 boxes and bins unloaded, all dishware, stuff that comes out of the hutch that one's wife stuffs in there that no man understands what it does...
and what a banner day at Lowes. I was there when it opened and got my downspout extenders and oh my, I knew I was in trouble. Right in front was a "grove" of about twenty fruit trees, all just off the delivery truck, all about eight feet high, and priced at 19.95 apiece. These were 80 dollar trees in PA. I admit I started to slobber... And they had the Kiefer pears I wanted, etc. Bought two each of three apple varieties and two pear varieties and they helped me load them on the truck, laid them down nicely and they got home perfectly.
And I am not planting them today for sure. Saw my next door neighbor, the fireman, yesterday afternoon, and he is going to help me get the phd on the tractor on Friday and then these trees might get planted, though they have a few crepe myrtles in front of them. This soil may be sandy, but with a twelve inch auger on the little phd(sized for my late smaller tractor) no way am I digging all these holes by hand. I just got my right wrist and arm to calm down from the mum planting two days ago. Of course there were enough roots in that digging to have warranted a stump grinder.
have a really good day.
