On top of Jack’s cold, Friday night he either ate something that didn’t agree with him or a very slight diverticulitis flare up. I’m leaning towards the ate something that didn’t agree with him. By Saturday afternoon he wanted to go out for lunch. Either way he wasn’t a happy camper. Sunday he did agree to getting congestion Rubittusin. Maybe by the time of his doctor appointment he will be over this.
My tree. I swore this wasn’t the size of tree I picked out, but when I do the calculation to convert circumference to diameter it comes to 2.7. My receipt said I paid for a 2.5. When I was looking at the tree it looked so much bigger in both diameter and the girth of the branches and leaves. The gentleman I spoke to said that they get that comment a lot and it’s because the tree is out of the ground sitting on the root ball. He said the only larger one that the 2.5 that they carry is the one that was left over from last year. I saw that one, but the crown or main part of the branches and leaves was off center. Dang thing better grow fast.
Oh, and on top of being smaller than expected, we couldn’t put it where was wanted to. The Charter TV cable runs through the back yard….6” from where the stake marking the spot to plant it. So now it’s two feet further to the north. Such is life.
Of the nine cone flowers my sister and I planted last year, three came back up and one of the two mums is. BUT, an orchid type lilly that was to only be an annual is coming back up. Go figure. This weekend I've also started putting down some fresh mulch. Love this weather.
