Things may be slow but it's going to be so amazing.

I hope so Karen, The PE is ready to upload but she needs access to the city's portal so she called them. The permit specialist told her she needed the previous PE's permission. What??? the guy passed away over a month ago and his business has been dissoved. I immediatly wrote to the plan check architect at the city but it's already 6PM! Another day of waiting. Road block every step of the way.

Road block! It seems like a big wall....

We ordered a new moon glow juniper. Ours did not make it... we tried. This one already looks healthier than the one we originally started with, so hopefully that is a good sign.

We also finally ordered a sweetheart redbud. I have been wanting one for a while now. It's going to be placed where our oak tree used to be. I'm so excited! lol

OH.. and they arrived today

We will plant them over the weekend, hopefully the weather will behave.

Something all the time Karen.

For example, today, the new PE emailed the city to ask for permission to access. Access granted but the city asked for a letter from her office to tie her to the new projects, so she wrote a letter, then they told her to hook up the record number to her project.

ALL three of these steps can be done at the same time, it does not need 8 hours to go back and forth.

Our redbud is in the ground.. and we leveled some of the area around it. We then took the dirt and put it under some of the pavers on the side of the house to lift them up lol they were sinking. That should hold them over until we re-do all of it one day.

Lovely tomatoes! It shows the big difference in climate to how things are here in the UK. The first picture is my greenhouse with tomato and tomatillo plants ten days ago. You can see they are not happy in the mornings with the cold and have almost collapsed. The second was this morning. Now somewhat larger and happier now it is a bit warmer. They all survived. The last picture is the Cherry tree. It is a little over in flowering now but still looks pretty. Hopefully a few cherries.
