It will be 29 for Florence and me come October 29th, but we got a late start.

So all the dead Blue Rug Juniper under the weeping cherry has been replaced with Pachysandra. The bare spot at the top of the drive has been covered with Perrywinkle.

Unfortunately the cable people chose to shortcut through that spot and the cable got cut. Florence called and was told someone would be here Tuesday to see if it was cut and if so it would be fixed Wednesday or Thursday.

Well you don't dick with an old telephone man like that so I spliced it. Works like a charm and will do till they can get the finger out.

The original run was down the edge of the driveway and they were told that was where the caable was. I guess the shortcut saved them all of 20 feet of cable.

Picked up four Golden Juniper as I did not prune the previous lot soon enough and it has taken over half the sidewalk. This time I will get right on it before it spreads so much.

I just hope that it is all as deer resistant as the nursery said, those white tail lawn rats have cost us a bunch over the years.
