Royce didn’t pick up Jim so I had to make a trip to Patterson St. to pick him up.
Filled the red cart with grass left in windrows – unload on new compost pile. A big limb from the sycamore near the bald cypress trees – broke off a limb of the European Beech.
Jim trimmed lower branches of weeping cherry & weeded under it. Dug 3 holds for the 3 peonies I have ordered – filled with compost mixed with the soil. Got the blue softer out of the shed & sifted into the red cart from compost pile. Mixed with pet moss & filled end of potting bench. He swept out the garage & driveway. I dug crabgrass & weeds from gravel walk by greenhouse high bed. David had used Roundup on them.
Calle Kensel about coming to see his prairie but Gale had concealed so I didn’t go.
Email from Davd Matyac listing repair jobs complete at his house & with photos of dragon’s blood begonia, double day lily & lantana I gave him.
Had corn, pickled beets, cantaloupe & ham sandwich with tomato for supper.
