Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
Our Wisteria was well established when we bought this house. Indeed, it was one of the things that made us choose it!
As the house is about 1980, it may be 40 years old. I must ask the previous owner if I see him (they moved within our town and then away, but return now and then)

Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
Had some beautiful days.
Busy with work and gardening work.
* So far, I have 3 clients gardens weeded and planters planted. ( one of the gardens was 17 hours of work )
* Presently working on the 4th client's garden. So far I have 10 hours in. The woods that I turned into a garden last year needs lots of weeding and to get roots out from last year's dormant plants when creating this garden.
* I have another huge weeding to do after this one. about 90% of the yard are gardens.
* Then I have a neighbor that wanted some help. I already went down there to spray the grass. There is no way of getting a shovel in this stuff in order to make this garden pleasing.
* Just got a call from the neighbor that needs help identifying plants when I did a makeover for her gardens 4 years ago.
* Plenty of mowing my yard and down at the farm.
* Just got 50 replacement arborvitae trees to plant. ( Hopefully there will be some rain this week to water them in more )
Still fighting with the wood chuck and the back of my garage. So far, no activity for a week. I think I have all the places plugged up so that he can't dig under the garage.
I have a pile of items to list on my websites and on eBid.
Boy, it would be nice to have some free time so that I can replace my mower blades and the muffler.
Milo, the neighbor's tom cat, is starting to "summer" at my place.

Another sale on eBid and a sale on my website.
Spent 4 more hours at my client's home. Working on weeding the wooded garden.
Then quick went down to the farm to get some spraying done.
Then I went over to the neighbors and started weeding her gardens for a couple of hours.
Her health insurance stop paying for chiropractor work that was helping her back.
Now home for the night. Pet and fed Milo.
Harassed my cats for a while.
Got something to eat.
Saw the sales and got them pack and ready to ship tomorrow.
And I think I have some time to sleep. :D :D
Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
Yesterday was wet and dreary.
I did have the day off and did almost nothing, but got some extra sleep.
I did plant the 50 replacement arborvitae trees, and made a trip to a neighboring town to purchase an item.
All the rain barrels are full and more rain to come today.
The trees will get a good watering in with the rain.
Plan on going to do some more weeding at the client's home before the next bout of rain.

The former owner of our house tells me that the Wisteria went in in about 1995 so it's almost 30 years old.

Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
We have been having quite a few wet and rainy days.
I did manage to weed 2 more of my neighbor's gardens. I only have one more left that has tons of bulbs that need to be removed.
I did manage to get some pictures of the gardens.
Snow in the summer, oriental poppies and lupine.

The pair of sandhill cranes are back and I just spotted that they have a baby . . . No, they have twins.
Hopefully, both of the babies will make it without being attacked by coyotes.
Barely got this picture, that they were so quick. The dad was irritated with me.
