Came home with another load of plants last night--all pots of small trees and shrubs, this time. Pawpaw, persimmon, soapberry, vitex, some ilex and viburnum cuttings. They're lined up in the yard, because they're all too recently transplanted to go directly into the ground just now. Oh, and I brought home a Very Big Thyme Plant...it was eating one of Donna's flowerbeds, and she was getting rid of it completely. (Very Big Thyme Plant = had to have By get it out of the car for me. We cut parts of it off, and it was still 2' across.) So the car smells really nice, even this morning--thyme and citrus and that slightly bitter resin smell from the vitex.

I'm wearing my Chemical Annie hat today. Joy, oh joy. Probably will be spraying all day, there's that much to do, and the weather's good for it. (Which will mean I'm going to be extra cranky tomorrow--my hands have hurt, a lot, the past two mornings, and today's activities will just make that worse.)

By'll be home late tonight--they've got that show this evening. Don't know if it's invite only or not--it's the collector's sale. Guess Robyn's already heard from people who say they're planning to be there, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a busy and profitable night for them.

Still waiting to hear about the greenhouse job. Donna asked her higher-ups the beginning of the week, and got the same "we don't know yet" answer. *sigh*

Note to self: remember to take my pile of branches home tonight, so I can start working on that fence.

The chemical warfare is half done. Had a nice offer from one of the PT guys who evidently enjoyed playing with the sprayer yesterday afternoon, and who said he'd take over the spraying for the rest of the day, but I'm down to the precision work now, and I'm not willing to let other people do that. Well, that, and I'm also down to the "dances with poison ivy" part of the program again, and I'm not going to ask the PT staff to wade through that to find my small specimen trees.

Have I mentioned that spraying all day leaves me with too much time, and just enough brain, to sit and think? *sigh*
