Good motivation.<BR/><BR/>Sue - I think you're right. My husband just wants to get it done, he said the apple tree drove him crazy and kept getting him in the face. Lucky he didn't step on more.<BR/><BR/>Julie - Thanks, I'm anxious to see it start filling in now.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen - I'm a proud mom that's for sure! :) The wrens were so cute hopping all around, but whatever call they were doing sounded like they wanted me out of there.<BR/><BR/>Nutty Gnome - I think I will get some clematis. They would help blend that new wood in a bit I think. <BR/>My daughter plays soocer, although they call their team Football Club. Hope you had a nice rest :)<BR/><BR/>Darla - It was and I'm sore to prove it :)<BR/>I'll send you my address.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-16301375974078438002009-04-06T05:38:00.000-07:002009-04-06T05:38:00.000-07:00Sounds like a very productive day!

Are you going to get climbers going up it?<BR/><BR/>Well done to your daughter on her footballing achievements. I have to confess that I loathe football - hang on, might have a communication error here! I mean I loathe what you call soccer. Did you mean soccer or American football?

I love it when that happens.

Men can be results oriented, and want to do things the fastest way possible. (If anyone reading this disagrees with me, say so. Maybe it's just the men I'm around.)Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-9095326957932785602009-04-05T17:48:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:48:00.000-07:00Hi Catherine- You two work fast.

A lot of work but it's worth it.<BR/><BR/>Kris - Yes posting and planting and planting and posting :)<BR/><BR/>Mildred - Yes, it's an elementary school. The playground is right behind our fence. I've heard some pretty funny conversations through the fence. Kids that age are entertaining.<BR/><BR/>Meems - Yes, these types of days are perfect. Not too hot and able to get lots of work done. If it weren't for the muscle I'd have to hire someone :)<BR/><BR/>Lona - Oh, I've been thinking about trellis' and all sorts or decor :)<BR/><BR/>Marie - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Tina - We always joke that even the easiest projects turn into something big. Always recutting. Better to have to cut then figure out how to put it back together if it's too short :)<BR/><BR/>Susie - Thanks!
