And on top of everything else

It rained just enough last night to make footing treacherous while we were trying to manhandle the trees into and out of the truck this morning. Not enough to make me delay planting them, but enough to make it a pain.

( probably too much information )

So, two and a half hours, three Tylenol, and two cans of Coke later, the five trees are in the ground, drip irrigation replaced, and mulched, though not staked yet. I am muddy from the elbows down. Still have three 2-gal shrubs to plant, but those are no big deal after the trees. Then I get to finish putting down the leftover mulch that's still in the truck.

Maybe I'll just have more Tylenol for lunch.
