I'm pooped. Ric and Robyn came today to pick up the shubunkin. They brought me some goodies, too. I now have a yellow weeping willow. Also planted behind the waterfall mound....and you all know why! :o)

I got some Lime Zinger Xanthasoma, and another EE, that I'm not sure of the name. Plus some Apricot trumpet vine. I planted it along the fence in front of the house. I got some trumpet vine from Bertie two years ago, and it finally decided to grow this year....until Bill helped and weeded the fence line....sigh...so we'll try again!

I washed sheets and hung them on the line. So tonight I'll sleep like a baby...loaded up the wagon with black gold, but by the time I got to it, I was to tired, so guess that will be facing me in the morning. I also planted the PG hydrangea and two Pink Delight butterfly bushes that Sue gave me. Repotted some grass for the pond and we ran over to Van's and I gave him a fan of that pretty ruffled yellow DL. He wasn't outside, and so I called to tell him it was there. It sounded like he had been asleep. Maybe he works third shift or something.

I did take time to try and find Judy's ring she lost. But I drew the line at dumpster diving....no luck on the ring. :o( I still have 2 things to repot for the pond. Then I think everything will be in beds.

I got an id on the hosta thread on that pretty hosta I didn't know the name of...it's Whirlwind. It's a beauty. Picture below. I also asked if anyone had any Buckeye Hosta...so far, I'm striking out on it. Can't even find a vendor that has it! :o( There is a Blue Buckeye, too, but it's not near as cool as the regular Buckeye!

Oh, one other thing I did do today (I got up at 5:00) I made labels for all my ferns. Now next on my list are the hostas. Does anyone know where to get those plant stakes that go with the metal markers? I have tons of the metal things, but all my stakes have disappeared. Guess I'll have to start researching that.

Have a wonderful night ladies....glad you're all home and happy.
