Susy- Sounds like you had a wonderfully busy day. I love the story about the gnome, when you get a chance please post a pic of "Piedmont" for all of us to see.

Carla- We gardeners are a rare breed! I got home at 7 p.m. last night and was floating on a cloud; if it wasn't for the fact that I was completely and utterly exhausted I would have ran out and started planting by flashlight!

After the swap Pixy and I went to Thane's and dug up (with a little help pulling from the "mantruck" and a chain) a gorgeous rhody that found a new home at Pixy's. When we got to Pixy's we unloaded her stuff and then proceeded to dig around and then pull (again with the truck) two wonderful cherry trees that are now happily snuggled in the ground at my house. We were on such a role that we "loosened up" two more of her rhody's that she wanted to move to different areas (again with the truck :0) And of course I had to wander around her beautiful garden and drool on everything!

It was so much fun meeting everyone! I have attached a picture of the "mantruck" as Pixy calls it for those of you that may have missed it. By the way, have I said that I loooooove my truck!
