So now it's finally quit raining for more than 4 hours, and we can all start to dry out.  Went to let the dog out in the backyard this morning, and sank into the grass by a good couple of inches!!  Guess the mowing will have to wait 'til tomorrow, or we'll lose the mower.  :)  My MIL is coming over this afternoon and is bringing plants from her yard that can't take the sun... she lost a tree last year, and had hostas and a blue geranium underneath.  So I'm inheriting some really beautiful plants!  The ground is so saturated, all we'll have to do is set the plants on top and they'll probably just plant themselves.

Also have to move the rhododendron and azaleas that are currently in full all day sun on the front of the house, they've got a spot reserved down in the front perennial bed.  This is a long-overdue project, but DH and I were having differences of opinion as to whether or not they needed moving.  Now that MIL has come along with "professional advice" from the local greenhouse, maybe now they'll get moved!  Thank You, MIL...

Gotta take before and after pictures of the projects, will try to get 'em posted tonight or tomorrow AM.  Thanks for checking in, updates as events warrant!
