 It was my birthday today and Jim asked me what I wanted . I said I want a sawsall. A man sized one  not that rediculous thing you got me awhile ago. So off we went to Home Depot. I got a Dewalt, top of  the line. I should be able to trim my trees now. Jim said he should take a out life insurance on me, I am going to kill myself climbing ladders and trimming trees.

He's the one always saying you have to have the right tool to do a job properly!!! I think he realized that comment had just come back to haunt him!!!

My grand daughter is spending the week with me. It's our State Fair. We are going tomorrow and check out all the barns and garden displays.

 I think the yard will be on hold for this week. I did finish getting the side project done. Have all the plants in except for a Mount Royal Plum. I am waiting till spring, But I did get a nice Russian Olive. I know they are kind of a messy tree but I wanted the color and the smell. It will look good with the pine and Quaking Ash. My thinking  the plants will sucker and naturalize into a shaded woodsy area.. Untill that happens I will toss wildflower seeds in the spring to give color.

This was a $2 pack of wild flowers I tossed into the mess this spring to just give the neigbor somthing to look at.

 I will take some pic's when I get the gound cover spread and finish the wall, now that Jim has the tin shed down.
