…which by the best way is STILL not painted regardless that I wait—oh so patiently—for that man (you recognize who you’re) to get it accomplished. However apparently it’s “too windy” each single day he’s house from work. Mmm-hmm. And I do know an ideal place to place a climate vane.
I purchased that Ginkgo biloba ‘Mariken’ within the high pot at Alden’s too. It’s a dwarf considerably weepy tree that in 10 years may attain 2-feet excessive and 2-feet large. At full maturity (if I’m fortunate) it could be a pleasant 3 by 8.

And that, My Readers, is why I journey. To seek out the distinctive and the uncommon. I’ve a watch if not all the time the pockets for it, and I’m rattling pleased with that. Even once I can’t afford the uncommon, I nonetheless love to go looking and uncover it.
