Shrubbery

Today two large Mesquite trees and 15 new shrubs and a few cactus were planted around the house. We could easily have planted 4 times that amount, but this filled in a few areas. The guys planting (it's like digging into concrete) were amazed to see me running around with all the pots moving them here and there to find just the right position. Hey, I lift weights at the gym, I can move shrubs......plus that was my workout today.

I also finished a little shawlette for Jack's mom today. We'll be seeing her in St.Louis next week for an early Christmas. This shawl was super easy, super quick and is wonderfully light and airy in the new Cascade Eco Alpaca. I'll need to make one for myself...and maybe all my sisters.

My sister Nancy is doing really well. I talk to her pretty much every night and we laugh and chuckle a bunch. I'm so glad she can stay positive thru all this. She hopes now to be released from the rehab facility right before Christmas and will live with Kathy and Colin for a bit. The good news yesterday was that they took the red tag off her walker and put a green tag on. Green is good!
