2nd full week in the new house

after meeting w/ several arborists to asses the health of our 26 some odd trees on the property, came to find out we have a walnut tree in our backyard....Awesome!  Some of the others, which are less desirable, and/or dead, such as Black Locust will be removed.  We also have Bradford Pear Trees and a White Oak in the front.  It's funny to see the range of quotes for the work.  Always get three quotes, there is always a high, middle and low.  The most expensive quote came from 'Priced Right Tree Trimming'...how ironic  :)
Contractors are completely finished, now we are on our own, w/ no excuse to stall on the many boxes begging to be unpacked in the basement  :(

Will be experimenting w/ my 1st two Topsy Turvy planters this season.  Hope to be able to successfully grow  hanging tomotoes and stawberries.
We have plans to stain the deck in a couple of weeks, transforming the back into an oasis retreat before the heat of summer hits....so many plans!
