We got our four new plants in the ground before a deluge this afternoon. We had enough soil from prior digging to fill in the lilac. Ron did a great job excavating and hauling.

Our timing was good: it started sprinkling just as we were putting away tools.

After mulling over placement for days, I’m pleased with how everything looks. The lilac will get plenty of sun and I hope the silene regias and the winterberry will do okay in their part shade.

I also weeded and cleaned up the ferns. They were a mess, knocked over from who knows what, an animal or maybe the last heavy rain. Garden looks 100% better.

We skipped Five Pound Horse at First Friday in North Adams last evening, but turns out, after watching a couple of videos, Ron isn’t crazy about their music, so just as well.

We steamed corn for lunch. I sauteed leftover chopped vegetables and an egg/breadcrumb mixture left from prepping eggplant for a casserole. All very filling. Trying to unload odds and ends from the frig.

Ron took Jett for a long walk up the hill. He kept Jett busy while I worked on the Inventory app. Keeping the functionality the same, doing cleanup. Changed “products” to “relief items” in the code and in SQL.

Met with Andi yesterday. Got the code on the new machine and a successful database connection.

Up at 4 am yesterday, took a nap in the afternoon but was pretty groggy afterwards. Slept better last night.
