Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Drew, good luck with all those new holes,

Thanks. just came in and took a shower to get the pollen off me and while I still had a lot more holes to bore,
I was done in. Moved machinery around this morning and dug holes this afternoon. Keeping my neck bent around like that was bad enough, but then my right leg started cramping up after three hours and I thought of that reporter in the tank...time to come in. Never did count how many but I got the most important area all done. I think about fifty trees.

Turns out I have a development right next door on one side, which I sure could not see too well when I bought this place delighting in the privacy. Which disappeared after the leaves fell. So I'm going to get Leyland Cypress (pretty wet in some areas, the auger came up covered in mud a few times) plus two other varieties, an arborvitae I suppose, though I'm kind of tired of them and they get wrecked by heavy snow or ice storms. And whatever else grows fast, is evergreen, and is inexpensive in quantity.
I honestly think I'll do best at Walmart's garden center, but I'll try the local place down the street first.

I started off the day going to look for a few tomato plants, since I had planted the potatoes, and came home with tomatoes and green peppers. And strawberries. Four of each. Should be plenty for me. Never got them planted and isn't going to happen today. Tomorrow first thing before it rains hopefully. Today, I quit.

Holiday weekend, enjoy everyone. Don't take any wooden Easter eggs.
And may all the blessings of Easter be yours.

46 now, it was up about 50 earlier. Met with a electrician on my sister's place this morning, then off to help my wife out. Then off to Lowes to buy some roof cement. The building my sister bought has a flat roof, with a HVAC system mounted on it. It had a small leak near the edge, I hope I got it. I did manage to use the goop without getting it on my clothes. That is a first! Took the dogs for a walk, now it's Heineken time!

Red tip photenia make great barriers.

Are you sure. Every time I think I have come away from a project clean. Wife shows me where I failed when she is doing the laundry. :ashamed:

Looks like rain is over with unless we pickup a stray shower. We got another inch today. System total is up to 3.5 inches. Currently a chilly 52. Front has passed through and we never did see the severe weather that was predicted even though they had Tornado Watches out today for us. Maybe the rest of you can be as lucky. And Roy maybe it'll stay as rain and you can put the snow blower away.

If you're up early enough, check the lunar eclipse at 6:15am Eastern...partial in the east, full out west.

Likely will be too cloudy here, but I'll be up and outside anyway.

I know exactly how that feels, Drew. :thumbdown: Used an auger to put in close to 200 shrubs around here, and I think I was walking crooked for a week. Same deal when I mow, but the auger is the worst!

Let us know what you decide on for screening trees. If we ever get rain again I need a site barrier on my north property line to help the neighbors keep their noses to themselves. :irked:

Just to be sure, I wore my oldest, raggedy blue jeans and a holely sweat shirt. If I'd had something decent on, it would have been toast!

42F. Made it to mid-60's today. Felt nice and made good progress melting down the snow. 35F tonight, 41F and rain with snow mixed in tomorrow.

More spring cleaning--didn't quite need an auger--today after grocery getting.
