Excellent! The way you wrote it, though, I was wondering if your ghost was writing that post! ;-) Here's hoping the patio stone lifting is quick and easy.

Call made, telehealth appointment this week. Moving forward.

Trash is out and after a hail storm (up to golf ball size) last night I looked for damage. So far, only one of the small okra seedlings was beheaded. There were two together in another small pot so I transplanted one to a different pot and will have as many to go in the ground (those two growing that close much longer would mean one would be plucked out of the way of the other before planting in the garden.)

Yesterday I roughed out the spot and placed the almond verbena shrub, but it needs a little more work today before I put mulch around it. And one other smaller shrub needs a home soon. Both attract butterflies, so putting them where they can get full sun and be seen by me (or passers-by, depending on the planting spot) is part of the planning process.

The days are still growing longer, and knock wood, not too hot yet.

Safe travels, Patty! Enjoy the wedding. And MaJoC, you may need to up the quality of the kibble if you are competing with neighbors for your cat's attention. Have you tried offering the water from a can of tuna?
