I think Mae has most of here planting done. I might bring a few wheelbarrow loads of wood chips up from the pile and top off the front beds today. Probably do around a few plants in the garden too
 
Ha, I paid my Latino buddies yesterday to come here and clean out all the flower beds,and mulch, and plant new flowers.... 4 guys...All day
 
What up ?? Not to much going on here today. Been on the go go all weekend, so taking it easy. Got up and made some bacon, egg, and cheese burritos this morning. Maybe head out to the garage later and go through a few more parts boxes I picked up a few days ago. Found some little nuggets, been fun.

Not much happening here, in super slo mode. Sipping whiskey and toasting lost Brothers. Our boys generation inks the KIA date on their arms with the Brothers name. I think that is a neat new tradition. Being in a military family is both a blessing and a curse. The non military folks always in a gesture of respect wish Vets a good Holiday. Sadly this day is not for us, it is for the ones who did not come home. And quite frankly for the men and women who came home, but ultimately lost a bigger battle in their minds. This thread has so many Vets on it no need to explain that any further. Best thread ever, thanks.
 
It's Mercury Monday!

I am lucky to say I have not lost any close family to war. Having done a good bit of genealogy research, I know my family participated heavily in the Revolution - even then there were few if any casualties among them. A few of Dads siblings were in WWII. (He was too young, but joined the Army in 47 on his 18th birthday) Found out yesterday his oldest brother is now in hospice at age 95. He and my aunt have been in assisted living for a while and he has dementia which has become quite bad recently. He was not doing good and was spending much of his time separate from her and has now got covid 19 on top of too many other problems. So thinking about him today...

Here's a couple pics of my and the neighbors new trees. The one's I put in are the 12-14 foot Excelsa cedar and Leyland Cyrpus, his are a bunch (like 35) smaller Leyland's, they grow fast and will provide privacy for the shop and the house. I put in drip irrigation, now are on a timer for watering : )

Nice. You need drip tubing (soaker hose) I have at least 500" of it. Just the ride. I was going to give it to the guy down the block but why he steals my water!:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
