We're planting trees!

6. Cats invented chutzpah! This morning mine walked right through my needlework

And laid down on the bag of threads. I had to grab him and put him on the floor - no yelling was going to get him to move off his comfy spot.

My husband dug all the holes and planted all the trees. I have one crape myrtle still to plant and I don't know where to put it. We already have lots of crape myrtles. When we first bought the place we planted a line of them on the west side of the house for open shade - they are 30-40 feet tall and we only see the blooms when they fall to the ground.

A few years later I bought out the crape myrtles from a nursery that was going out of business - pretty watermelon variety with white edged pink blossoms. I used them to dress up the show ring at one of our shows then we planted them around the farm. Those never get bigger than 15 feet. Some were in places that got so shady they never bloomed or grew much so when we built the new house my husband dug them up and transplanted them on the east side.

Since I don't know what variety crape myrtle they sent us it's hard to pick a spot for this last one!
