And So It Began

Well did ya think we could just plunk ourselves on our new summer spot and settle in.....HA.  We've been, too busy, but things need to be done.  After it is all said and done the bob, truck and trailer will be sold which means there will be no more machines to do a lot of work with and then we rest and enjoy.


As David 'built' our motorhome pad He, yes he, cleared two areas for gardens.  I enlisted Mary's help and up we went to the northland.  A four hour drive up to work work work

Mary dug hostas while I mowed

Pixie, the magnolia bush, got dug up as well.  That bush took us more time to dig out than all of the hostas combined.  It is with great pride that Mary stands in this 3 foot deep hole holding the extracted bush.

Let me see

I wonder what Mary was doing

While I was taking these very pretty butterfly pictures

This may give you some idea.  The hostas and a few other plants ready for the four hour trip back to their new home.  That may not look like many plants but....

Putting them all in  my Honda

Was quite the task.  Mary and I together is a dangerous venture.  Usually lots of laughs, things done in a backwards manner and slower than most people would do them but we always get er done.

Trying to squeeze a hoe in there somewhere

And yes the Menopausal Maiden will have a special place in our new garden

Four hours up, four hours of work and four hours back and here they are hostas, magnolia and more.

The site of the new hosta glad which is located at the edge of the woods behind the motorhome pad

And the garden to the side of the pad where the magnolia, hydrangea and annuals will go as well as the Menopausal Maiden.

Not finished in this picture but this is the new 'pad'

Julia getting an early start taught by the best, my gardening friend Mary.  Poor Shelby is in the background too shy to get too close to a new person.  When did our shy girl become more outgoing and our outgoing girl become so shy? 

We are, today, headed to Mystic Lake for a few days and then off to Canada to visit friends that we meet this past winter.  Look our Canada here we come.
