Weekend Work!

I will be glad when this is done, and I can sit back and just enjoy it! This weekend we put the barrel out, had to put it back together, over the winter the nails in the bands rusted, and the barrel was in pieces! So we put new nails in the

bands, ones that won't rust! Just a little more work, and we should be done, then we have a bush on the side of the house that my dad wants taken out! So we start all over! I had ordered 2 Crape Mrytle trees, from a nursery ,which they claim are hardy for the Midwest winters! We shall see. Right now they are just twigs! Our first trip to Texas I fell in love with these trees, So when I found a company that said they can be grown in the hash Midwest winters I ordered 2, little did I know that they would send me 2 twigs.

It's been about 3 weeks and Joe said that they are growing! They also told us that if we wanted patio size trees to grow they in a good size pot, which we are doing.
