So far, the weekend is going great. We hung out at Dad's yesterday, getting some of his stuff done, and some of our stuff done. It was/is hot, but it seems right for Memorial Day weekend. Yesterday evening, Kevin grilled at Mom and Dads, and we all ate our fill.
Today was a bit more lazy, and I even got a bit of a nap. Brett's friend Robert (his brotha from anotha motha) came over to spend a night or two. He's always a lot of fun. He works at a nursery, and he brought me gifts! Some flowers that I will plant tomorrow morning, and an even BETTER offering:
HE BROUGHT ME A TREE!!!! When we moved in, there was not a single tree in the yard. The neighbors have some, lining the property line, but I have none of my own, and the shade of theirs doesn't benifit me, since that line is on the East side of our yard.
It seems he rescued this little tree from the ICU of the nursery. They were cleaning the area out, and he saw that it was in too small of a pot. He repotted in and brought it to me. The base of the trunk is green, so I think I can get it back. It is a Bloodgood Japanese Maple. Very pretty when healthy, so I can't wait to baby this one. I'll plant it in the morning. It's also a pricey item, if you have to buy it.
Well, time to call the girls in, since it's getting dark. Mom's computer died today, so she'll probably get a new one tomorrow, then we'll go over there again. I heard rumors about taco salad. Mmmmmm.
