Two trips down, four to go. We have the two hardest and longest trips done, at least. The next one is the second and last of the family trips, and it is followed by a quick turnaround and out-the-door for J., who has a work trip this weekend.
I was able to do a small amount of gardening this weekend. My order from Wayside Gardens finally came in. This order was the refund for the maple tree fiasco. We didn't want to risk another maple tree order through the mail again, and instead ordered a barberry, a couple of hostas (one bareroot, yikes), and a couple of packets scilla and allium bulbs. I planted the hostas under the giant bonsai tree (item #4). The barberry replaces the thuja that croaked this summer. We're still very short for rain (I can't remember the last time it rained, in fact, but it was at least two weeks ago). I need to finish fertilizing everything and we'll have leaves to rake soon. There's whispers of adding a screen door to the front entrance during Thanksgiving break. Other than that, my immediate house plans only include trying to keep it moderately clean.

Welcome home - albeit midst more "ins and outs!" It's good to hear of your activity. I'm sure your mom has sound advice about dealing with bare roots! (I don't seem to have any!)
Your plants are intriguing.
