I love this time of year. Everything is so "green" and the gardens look magnificent. I'll email you some photos of the gardens. Yes, the Red Maple is in the ground as of two weeks ago. MIL has been away for the last ten days so we've been watering.
Ellie is now on summer hours. That means she takes Mondays off and only works a 4 day week. Of course, 99% of that time is spent in the gardens and with the animals. The dogs are getting lots of exercise now that summer hrs have kicked in. Jayce, the hyperthroid cat is our only concern these days. His weight loss has turned around. He eats like a horse. Except he "woofs" as much as he eats. Had two cleanups this morning. He always manages to hit the carpets even though we replaced many of them with hardwood last year. The carpets are taking on a whole new look. :-(
You wrote about appearance. Ellie never leaves the house without looking smashing. I do appreciate it.
