Ken went out for a little while in the morning but his back was bothering him so he went back to bed and mainly watched t.v. I went out in the morning and found a few weeds growing in the garden, which are now goners. In the afternoon I suggested to Ken that we drive to Yellville to Hudson's Grocery Store since they have a small garden area and see if we can find a tree that we like to replace the one we lost over the winter. I bought a pot of decorative ferns for the front of the house, a Silver Maple to replace the tree we lost, and a Evergreen to plant. When we got home, I hand dug three holes, put the fern by the house, the Silver Maple in the front part of our yard, and the Evergeen which is called an Arborvitae Green Giant #3 between the house and the carport. Hand digging in this rocky soil is hard work but they are all now planted and the work will be forgotten within days.
