When I saw the dark burgundy Crepe Myrtles around here, we found a nursery and bought four. Two are outside the front gate, two are on the inside. My husband wants to get some more and plant down the driveway.

I know a lot of people that don't like them because they can be messy but I like them and that color is pretty.

You sound like me Mike, I'll do JUST this one more little thing. Yeah right. Awful hard to stop once you are on a roll when there is just ONE more little thing that can get done. Don't do too much though, Jay can use the money

Bruce - it turned out that Jay called and said they changed his dental appointment. His Grandmother told him I ran a roll today and was planning on running all the rest of the wire tomorrow and he wanted in on it. He knows that is the last decent payday until we get started on the tree line. I already have the anchor post wire attached on the long run and the other roll set in place to finish it up so we should get it all tomorrow except for the 5 gates.
A lot of what he does is under his apprenticeship program and he doesn't get paid for that.

You tire me out Mike I think the only thing I accomplished today besides Aunt Ruth's BDay party was checking that all the girls got themselves into the coop and collecting the 4 eggs. Oh, and catching up on the days posts in 3 websites. Yeah, REAL productive

Bruce - this weekend is the sort that lets Teresa take pictures of me falling asleep with the dogs that aren't allowed on the couch, on the couch.

I do let them up every once in awhile so I won't blame her.

And we HAVE seen the evidence of that. Teresa can post all the "Mike and the dogs sleeping on the couch" pictures she likes

I only had Jay to help for an hour this morning and most of that was putting in T-post clips and doing wire wraps on the anchor posts that were stapled but not wrapped. After he left I stretched one full row of the Gaucho wire and then switched to the heavier Red Brand and got a little over 200' of that mounted with a little over 100' left to go on that leg. It went slow because this fence row follows the contour of the property line which is a constant but small curve the whole length on this leg so I could only stretch about 100' at a time. Depending on the weather tomorrow I hope to get the shorter 320' leg mounted and start hanging gates.
