I got the other big envelope back, plus a regular one that I sent to Fort Myers. That leaves one more regular envelope on its way back from Florida and one from here.

We got all the plants we ordered in a big plastic bag filled with moisture. Due to limited time, we didn’t get everything planted today, but by the weekend everything will be planted. The Siberian elms, poplars and Rose of Sharon didn’t get planted yet. We planted the 20 or so free flower bulbs along the wash in front. The English lavender is just beyond the front wash. A tulip tree is just beyond the English lavender and we’ve got another tulip tree on the north side which can be seen from the bedroom window. The tulip trees look the funniest. Because they’re dormant, it looks like we planted 3-foot sticks in the ground.

Anyway, now all we can do is hope for the best. It sure would be nice if everything could grow as fast as the oleanders which are really taking off fast. They’re even beginning to bloom!

Instead of putting the Sharons on the south side, we’re going to put them in front for two reasons. One is because that way they’ll be easier to keep an eye on to see how they do. Also, Tom still needs to drive through the area where we were originally going to put them.

I’ve begun doing video captures. He finally found a program that’s not so complicated and allows me to make stills easily enough.

It really is a damn shame PG can’t get their act together and that getting people’s dolls to their doors (or mailboxes) is such a big deal for them because they really do have some nice dolls (I checked to see what’s new). Not as nice as Ashton-Drake, but nice enough, and of course, they’re so cheap.

Tom found out more about Meagan and Stacie’s wedding which is going to be outdoors in the late afternoon with a Hawaiian theme. Most of their family won’t be there because, as most people would say when it pertains to gays, they’re anti-gay. See, that’s how warped society is. When you don’t like blacks you’re called either prejudiced or a bigot and when you don’t like gays you’re simply anti-gay. To me, anyone who hates anyone who isn’t hurting them or anyone else is nothing less than a bigot.

Anyway, although I’d rather not despite my curiosity, it does look like we are going to go. Tom will take that night off of work, and we’ll use it as an excuse to get some new clothes. He said lots of people use Hawaiian themes for different events, so there are plenty of places to get Hawaiian clothes which I do like.

I’ve got the windows open now, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Before long it’ll be months before we can open windows and get fresh air. It was a bit warm in the direct sunlight earlier and I even got some color, but now it’s just gorgeous.
