And thought I'd jot a few lines.


Worked the bare root tree and plant sale yesterday and surprisingly, not that sore today. One order I helped with the people were buying 12 maple trees. Now these are 2-3 yrs old stock, and just healed in, but still, lots of digging and tugging to get them out. Think we made good $$, but noticeably fewer people this year than last. Think it's the economy.


According to what I read this morning, the economic stimulus checks are supposed to start hitting our accounts soon. Know what you're going to do with yours? We're paying bills, most likely, even though I'd like to get a new computer.


It's been quite lovely here. We had low 70 temps all weekend, but it rained overnight. The lilacs and dogwoods are beginning to bloom. It really is pretty here. People have been out in their yards working and the neighborhoods look really nice. I got several things at our sale, one tree free for volunteering. I got a doublefile Viburnum, a double-flowering mock orange and a green gage plum that we are going to espalier in the side yard. We have so much to do in our yard.


Well, better get moving here...everyone have a good week!

Hi Red


Wow girl that is a lot of hard work. I am sure glad you are not too sore. The trees you got will sure look nice in your yard.


Not sure what we will do with our check probably put it in our savings for that new car Dh will buy in about three years.
