The Back Deck

Still working on the outside of the Inn. We spent Today raking the back lawn, cleaning out the raised flower bed and prepping it for summer Zucinni for those sweet Zuccini Pies this summer. On the Back deck I put up 7 metal trellis and at the base of each we planted Scarlet Ohara Morning Glory Plants. The plan is for them to climb up the Trellis and spread accross the entire deck. By Mid-Summer it should be bloomin beautiful ! Then I snuck around to the Front and pulled out the second to last gnarly old everygreen shrub. I have to sneak because Sherry won't let me do any heavy lifting because of the bad back I have. I am not supposed to lift anything greater the 15 lbs...do you know that just about everything around the Inn weighs more then 15 lbs ! Anyway there is just 1 shrub left, but it's a monster...the biggest we have. It is about 8 feet wide at the base and 10 feet tall. It has about 25 small 2 inch trunks that need to be sawed off first, then a hole needs to be dut half way to China to get it out. Perhaps we can use Sherry's truck to pull it out ?
