Day 906: New redbud

Doug delivered a red-leafed redbud and two variegated dogwood bushes earlier today.  Quickly, Steve planted the ten foot tall tree in the new bed and I tied it to supports with old panty hose.  A huge storm swept through this evening and watered it thoroughly.

It was a steamy hot day, very humid with just a touch of a breeze this morning.  We walk a couple miles early, but were dripping by the time we got home.  Steve was off to meetings, so I kept swimming off and on till I reached 260 lengths!  13 miles. I weeded the stone wall garden so we can mulch it tomorrow.  Next, is Willy's garden.

We had ice cream with Amy and Annie just before the storm hit.  I've switched to black raspberry Mexican sundaes.  Delicious! Amy loves root beer floats and Steve got a chocolate soda.
