No housewarming party yet, but this weekend we are loaded with Graduation Parties...Bill's graduating cadets.
Already been to 6 this weekend, have 2 more to go to today. Plus Jamie's sailing lesson orientation party yesterday which we 'briefed'.
Bill is at a grad party now by himself, because I have been planting trees along the shady edges of my gardens,
mostly Japanese Maples I dug from the old house, but also 2 redbuds, one weeping, one regular.
Also planted a Bigleaf Magnolia,
Magnolia macrophylla.
It has grown 2 feet in it's pot since mid spring, and will be at least 20 feet tall in 3 years.
Totally tropical looking and has 12-18" fragrant blossoms on it, once it gets about 8-10' tall.

Also planted a
Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Moonlight' vine at the base of a giant oak tree.

Anyway, gotta hit the showers, clean up, dress up, and get going now! Another grad party at 2, and another at 3.

(I'd rather stay butt-up in the gardens all dirty and grubby!)
