More progress...then...more rain!!

On my return on Monday morning, the first view of the house was transformed.  I can’t even remember the crumbling concrete stairway and collapsing chimney that had been there for the past fifty-five years.  Alex came by to pass on some watering and maintenance instruction.  With all this rain, it's hard to believe that these new plants will lack water, but it will take the roots 6-8 weeks to establish, and until then, they should be well-watered every other day.  Since the plumbing is so sporadic at the moment, I had to go to Lowe's to buy another fifty feet of green hose.  With a hose long enough to wrap around the house, I happily watered my new pine tree,  hedges and grasses.
