    IL, you are dedicated! I have owned many homes and never dug up plants to take. A week ago I switched you tube tv for 75/month. This saved me 75/month over cable. I can’t remember if I mentioned this in April.

    Went to the library book sale and found 2 books that were part of a collection we have on Korea, and a new jigsaw puzzle. Love these sales and being able to support the library! (Would have done a flat-out donation if I hadn't found anything.)

    Picked up two pieces of furniture from the curb. Then proceeded to do some organizing. I now have a whole dresser devoted to clothes I am too fat to wear.

    Can't you take Hosta's to Hermann and mix them with other plants the deer don't like, to keep them away?

    Not my first, but one of my earliest memories, a neighbors daughter, who is a famous artist, was painting a picture of Iris's. I had discussed that with my mom, who thought I was crazy, and she never painted flowers, when we went through a local home on the national historic register, where that picture was hanging. I said that's the picture about a second before they started talking about it.

    As for you pulling out bushes and stuff from the other house, this sprung to mind:

    I can’t see anything!


    Interesting about the iris painting you saw.


    If I intersperse hostas among plants they don’t bother, they will delicately step around plants they are not attracted to and munch on the hostas and ignore the other plants. I hate deer.

    I LOVE deer! They are very tasty! They have way too much to eat here to bother coming into the yard, though, so my hostas are fairly safe. Frugally - I froze the milk DH must have on hand, (as he drinks SO MUCH of it, lol) as it is past its "best by" date and in danger of becoming a bit ripe. I freeze it in 2 cup container boxes and transfer it to (rewashed) baggies for use in cooking. He usually doesn't notice we're out of milk, as long as I leave the container in the fridge until I can get to the store and buy another.

    I am going to look for the movie!

    IL, I am incredibly impressed by your efforts right now, and brilliant to use the free St. Louis compost as your potting medium! Very intrigued by you dividing the hydrangeas. I love hydrangeas but never grow them. We had a beautiful one in South Carolina, and I didn't realize they could grow up north. Duh.
