Until next June, when the lilies bloom or are missing, I can't plan anything. Right now it's just cleaning up and trying to make it look neat.

JD is my strength, my encouragement and he's eager to believe I can make the impossible happen. Let's hope you're right, Mike! I'll give it my best shot.

We have a table with an umbrella, Lucy, but I need shade for the spots where I work. I keep moving the cast iron base around to avoid the sun and it's working fine but not the same cool shade of a tree. I'd never be able to change the water for a birdbath that's 4' tall but that's an idea I have used in the past for stumps that weren't ground out.

I am making painfully slow progress.
