Oh my, the vision thing is out of control. I need to have the remote in my hands. Keep Victor, far, far away from it.

Wha, sorry about your witch hazel getting eaten. I moved all of mine to behind the deer fence, then discovered that my darling dogs where breaking off branches to chew on. I have caught them both doing it. It must attract them with its scent. They will be fine once they are bigger, I hope.

Had another marathon day in the yard. Very windy this morning so I pruned, but when it backed off, I went back to raking. cleaning and edging. Didn't get close to done, but did do other jobs too. We needed to make a new spot for the big brush compost heap so we can use the old space as a new veggie bed. So DH got out the big guns and cleared a spot along the edge of the property that has a gully. Then I cleaned up the new area and we dug out some shrubs to transplant to hide it better. I think it is a great spot.

I tried to dig out a large ink berry, but couldn't, so DH tied a rope to it and jerked it out with the truck. It may make it as it had a few roots attached. It had to be moved, did the same with a little scrub oak, but it came out with a nice lump of roots. Nothing delicate about it.

Here is my other helper, Nellie. And my new found rocks that where buried. I moved them today to the place we are going to use them or I should say that I put them in the wheel barrel, and DH moved them. Patti
