We had quite the weekend! On Saturday morning we headed to Dawson's nursery - where they were having a going-out-of-business auction. They were selling all of their stock and equipment leaving (of course) the best for last. In the end (after about 7 hours there) we left with 12 shrubs and 6 trees including two scarlet maples (for either side of our house) and a lilac tree.
On our way to pick up soil and other planting necessities after church yesterday, BJ happened to notice a going-out-of-business sign on ANOTHER nursery (I guess it's a sign of the times). We swung in and left with five MORE trees and a just plain awesome jade plant.
So now we have 10 trees and 12 shrubs to plant! BJ managed to get the largest one in the ground yesterday (we needed the mower to pull it into place it was so heavy) while I pruned the crap out of our knock-out roses.

Can't wait to see the pictures of your new trees! Happy planting!
I want trees! I am looking forward to photos of your landscaping adventures. Are you coming up here at all before Christmas? I miss my friend! I'm thinking we need to do a double date soon! Maybe in Indy?
