landscaping

Hi,
I decided someone had to get this started and I guess it is about my turn. We continue to have hot weather although it is not quite as hot as it was and we can sit on the patio in the evenings and it is very pleasant.
They have really been working on our golf course. They have it over seeded for winter so we will have a green lawn all winter. Had no idea how many people, the number of hours they have put into it, and all the different machinery they used. Of course water system going off very often and all at once the course turned green over night (at least it seemed that way). Of course we are just monitoring the activity in our sight.
Last night Dad and I went to a travelogue on Australia. Not as good as the ones in Omaha and it was held in a very small place. Still interesting and not sorry we attended. We were almost home when a coyote trotted across the street right in front of us.
We have done some landscaping this past week. We replaced several things. One of our century plants just laid down one morning so we have another different planted in its place. Removed a second century plant and put in a lemon tree. Removed two shrubs in the front of the house and replaced them with two of a different variety. Dee came over and took the purple lantana that I did not like and Marty you should be pleased to know that it has been replaced with a rosemary that we can keep trimmed round.
Just wanted all of you to know that Dad and I are skipping town this coming week. We are going to Creekside Lodge in Mayer, Az. Phone number is 928-632-0777. You can look it up on the internet, but you won't learn much about it. Website is www.creeksidepreserve.com. Sounds interesting so we will see what we think of it. We are going up Tuesday and will be back sometime Thursday. We will be sort of close to Prescott where my cousin has their second home so we are going to go up there in the morning, have lunch with them, and then go back and check in. We may even go on up to the Grand Canyon. Will fill you in at a later date.
Dorothy and Dee are coming over for pizza tonight (after all it is Saturday night isn't it). This will be Dorothy's first outing since her new hip with the exception of going to therapy. Dee felt it would be good for her. She also knows we are long friends and if she can't stay very long they can just leave. Will eat shortly after they arrive so she can make the calls.
Have a load of laundry that I want to get in the dryer and folded before they arrive. Plan on taking tomorrow off.
Love to all,
Mom
