Happiness is the only good.
The time to be happy is now.
The place to be happy is here.
The way to be happy is to make others so.

Plums. Progress Report.
Hollywood Plum. Fruit set is the best I've ever seen for this tree. Promising.
Shiro Plum. Ditto.
Irises. Progress Report.
Last summer I rescued these miniature irises from neglected location. I was certain there were blue ones and yellow ones. Turns out they are all identical to "Cherry Garden". I expect to move them to a better location, raised bed, once it's built. The good part - they were scraggly and sick appearing. The TLC last summer, with cleaning them up, replanting, giving dilute balanced fertilizer with each watering through the summer, resulted in full recovery and probably the most flowers they've ever had. That is counter to accepted wisdom for irises. I think that approach also revived the tall beardeds, which will bloom in a few weeks.
VIburnum
I wanted a viburnum for a long time, but no place to put it. Planted this one last summer at the Battleground Place. Almost blooming. Some nostalgia there.
Doggie ecstasy
Charlie's getting pretty old for a dog. He's 12. Not too old to roll around in the grass and make pleasure noises.
