My next door neighbor asked me to water her plants for her while she was on vacation. As a thank you, she gave me a beautiful Weigela shrub, a couple of Coneflowers and another flower out of her garden (Not sure what that one is called). So I planted the flowers but decided that that one little shrub needed some friends. Yes, I know, it's a sickness. It's a little bit like buying a throw pillow for the couch and then deciding you need to re-paint, re-upholster, etc. I'm sure there's an intervention for this somewhere. So I ended up with 8 shrubs (yes, 8) and still would like 2 more (Couldn't find 2 of all that I wanted.). Well, anyway, we planted them yesterday while Sissy was at school.
Not sure what kind of shrub this one is (below). Pretty sure it's a dwarf variety though. :)
Alex's favorite part was the pile of black dirt in the back of the pick up truck. He probably would have slept there last night if we had let him.
This cool weather today and yesterday is kind of a bummer but it sure is GREAT for doing outside chores!! Talk to you soon. Hugs. Laura

I'm pretty sure that dwarf shrub is a "Cutius Patootius" (makes it's own fertilizer).
Watch out! Those self-fertilizing shrubs grow like weeds!
Hey...what kind of a mom doesn't let her kid sleep outside in the black dirt??
hee hee
If you're wondering what to get me for my birthday, I'd like to have that cute, little dwarf shrub sleep overnight at my house this fall!! What say, can I borrow him?
