My nest door neighbors tree (that EPB was supposed to come and cut down) fell during the storm today...there's a girls car underneath all that...eeeeeps, don't know how that turned out. Oh, and how many giant EPB contractor trucks does it take to cut that ONE tree limb down? FOUR apparently. And they all stood around watching me plant my plants...(see below)
So, one of the 'perks' of being in a business where you're occasionally tearing up landscaping to install sidewalks is that, I sometimes get the plants! (All of the nandinia's in the front of my porch above were from another job!) We were putting in sidewalks in front of the Cracker Barrel off Shallowford this week and had to take these beauties up! I think someone said they're Tiger Cannas or something? Anyhoo, people keep telling me you can't kill them, and I keep saying, "Just you wait..." Guess only time will tell!
I figured out the hard way...I despise gardening...I don't mind mowing and weed eating and stuff, but digging up this stupid hard, rocky ground took FOREVER! And I had the joy of doing it with like 5 EPB guys (any of which could have dug this dumb hole in 5 minutes, but never offered) watched. Guys tend to enjoy watching girls doing 'dirty' jobs and gettin' all hot and sweaty, so that kinda creeped me out...
But at least I got some pretty plants planted finally!
Then, after I jumped in the shower, Kevin got here! We went to Honest Pint with Brittany and Amy and he showed us something that we just don't see here in the south...his medical marijuana license...
