Monday

Mornin!

It was a nice weekend. Sorta overcast/rainy on Sat and sunny and cool/cold yesterday.  I still haven't caulked around the back room windows, but I did get a bit of yard work done!

(BTW, HH got me a new phone and I am loving the new instant upload!  It makes getting my pictures here so much easier!)

On Friday, while DD was at a friend's house, DS helped take down the old "tree house" deck.  It hadn't been used the past few years as it was getting too old and bouncy.  Below, you can see the deck through the door.

DS took out almost all of the screws by himself with the rechargeable drill.  Now, we can hang both Brazilian hammocks up at the same time!

Another thing I did was move a rose bush in the back yard. When my dad and stepmom bought their trailer last year, it just so happened that this rose bush was right in front of their door! 

 So, it had to be moved. I thought of a few different places for it, but decided to put it by the front corner of their trailer. I dug a new hole, then started to dig up the rose bush. It had a couple long, thick roots coming mostly out of one side.

I was wearing my Isotoner gloves, work gloves, my heavy winter coat, and pink tuque and was able to avoid any prickles from all the thorns.  I dragged it over by the bottom roots and stuck it in the new hole.  I had to make the hole bigger because I hadn't expected the roots to go over so much.

After that, I covered it up with the dirt from the hole, added some potting soil with fertilizer on top and watered it.  I hope it makes it!

 I was also able to transplant a lupin plant from the back of HH's office. There is a wild flower garden that I don't want there anymore since we're going to have our vegetable garden in that area. (The vegetable garden will go about 4 feet in front of HH's office, parallel to the wall.) Here's a pic of the wildflowers. They look like they're sitting on top of the chest of drawers in front of the cedar shingled wall.  .

I'm going to move the plants I can identify as flowers.  

The lupins are the little green patch beside the rose bush. (And pay no attention to the frozen yogurt container in the bush.  HH put it there to seperate some branches :-))

I took a look at the honeysuckle by the raspberries and it looks moveable.  As I was pulling up branches, I discovered one with roots on it! So, that would be good for putting in the front by the arbor (not currently built). Or I may still try to uproot the whole big plant!
