Exhausted! Both Rex and I are beyond tired. Rex is doubly tired since he did most of the work with my directions or assistance.... The two wax myrtles that we planted by the swing are GREAT! They look pretty and returned us our privacy, yay! They took all day to just get out of the trailer and place them in their destination--- the process was slow. Each 150-200 pound tree was pushed off the trailer to the ground where Rex placed a dolly under the tree, then we put plywood on the ground and took them to where they were to be planted. What a chore. Rex dug the holes then we had to try to figure out how to get the trees out of the "pots". He used his "saws all" to cut the plastic pots while the trees were on the ground; and then it took forever to be able to put them correctly in the hole he dug. We only did 2 of the three because we were not sure how to fix the rest of the privacy problem.... The second and third structures- treehouses built by HGTV for our back neighbor's backyard, have clear view of the backyard garden area. The bougainvillea hides the view directly in front of the 2nd tree house--- BUT the lovely HGTV people started to trim it to put new sections of fence and for decorative purposes.... And they left branches cut inside the tree! We started to take them out and trim the rest --- always a very unpleasant job due to the gigantic thorns---- and soon realized that with all the trimming, now we have even Less privacy! I think We have decided to bite the bullet, and buy 4 more wax myrtles and cut down the terrible bougainvillea once and forever. When will this take place.... Let's see.... We need to fix the car, save for Spain, fix the pool pump, fix the yard, finish Rex's boat..... I give up!
Maybe I need to learn whatever lesson the Lord wants me to learn---
