Today was windy! We had planned to do hill repeats up the trail behind the neighborhood, but the air was yellow. Really yellow from pollen. So, we decided to bail on it. I'm not sure how bad pollen is for the lungs, but I think I would rather not find out. Hopefully the wind advisory will be over tomorrow.
Yesterday we got the rest of the box woods in the ground. That project is over, and I am very happy about that. The two plants foreground are where the giant juniper was. If we had not take out the root ball and many of the roots, we could not have planted there. So, the drudgery was worth it. In 10 or so years, the short ones will be the same height as the older plants.
Rocks were repurposed. We have a decorative rock placement. There used to be a border at the base of the juniper, but there was no need for it any more.
This is in our neighbor's yard. He has a beautiful display in spring, no effort on our part.
Who's current on the Harrison Butker controversy? He's a kicker for the Chiefs. One of his team mates is Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Anyway he spoke at a graduation ceremony, during which he said that a woman's only vocation should be taking care of her husband and having babies. The entire twenty minutes can be seen here on youtube. There is a 80 second clip here, which is about all I could stand. Anyway, he's been dragged fairly thoroughly and today he put out an explainer - to say what he really meant.
Isn't that better?
