Inside for a break...all 9 trees are plnted...boy ws it a hot job even with the boys drilling the augr holes....2 for each tree. Then had to take out the middle and mix it with a little compost along with the clay under the sandy top soil. Made good use of the wheelbarrow. The auger brought up the clay from 3 feet down so I used it to make the well wall around each tree. Trees haven't wilted so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Roger is watering the garden by hand...says he enjoys looking over each bed as he does. Such a sweet man!
We will go check the crawdad trap and then go to an early dinner...Mexican! in Prague. There is a restaurant there called Juana's. They make more traditional Mexican that is not as salty as the Tex-Mex. Soooo good.
Got too hot to finish the sweet potatoe bed. Will do that Friday. My stress test and echocardiogram are Thursday. Can't have caffeine for 12 hours before the test.

After a nerve wracking night when they did not arrive yesterday morning and Austin sorting area had LOST them! From what I have been told they arrived in plenty of time for the plane but were put in a different area, then the worker forgot about them. 
I was panicking because these were older 10 day olds so did not have that time cushion. The wonderful lady I bought them from had grogel in the box thank goodness. All of it was gone this morning when I picked them up and we had lost one chick. It could have been so much worse. I had even had them held at Norman P.O. so they would not have that extra day in transit. Can you believe the worker at the Norman P.O actually chewed me out for not having them shipped to Tecumseh and refused to stay and witness my opening the box. She said if any were dead it was my fault!! I demanded someone else be present then came home and filed a complaint with USPS. 
They are lucky I was more concerned with getting the chicks home at that point than standing on someones desk or you all would have been witnessing my being escorted out of P.O. on the noon news! I had brought wet mash for the babies and water so they ate and drank all the way home, sitting in a big tub in my lap of course!
