Nothing Much

Nothing exciting going on with Randy or me.
I did watch Randy pull out tons of English ivy from under the old maple in the back yard though.
He's an animal! Grrrrr.....
He let me pretend to help by rolling the ivy up with the use of a pitchfork. Then he used brute force to yank the roots out of the ground.

It's been raining three days straight. Good for the saplings we planted. Grandpa gave me some American chestnuts and some acorns last fall. I planted them and voila! Trees!
The American chestnut we have is not self-pollinating so we planted a mate for it by the relocated compost pile. The oak is planted just in front of the back fence.
We are officially finished planting any more trees on our property. Within another 10 years we won't have any sunny spots around.

Now that the weather is cooler, and as soon as the rain stops, we will get back to work on our variegated brick patio. I don't know if I like it or not. But it will be a pleasant place to sit even if it looks strange.

Randy and I have been watching some ooooold movies. Black and white ones. Some Hitchcock and some Paul Newman ones. Some Shirley Temple movies just came in but I doubt I can get him to sit and watch those with me. :)

It's great to read your interesting blogs. Keep up the good work!
