More damp, more clouds, more rain.  High 50s today, so not so cold, but still dreary and wet. We got over half an inch of rain the day before Easter, now drizzle today.

Despite the soppy wet ground and drizzle I planted more trees.

I put in two Lowe's trees that are a good 5 feet tall: a Red Oak and an Autumn Blaze maple.  I had poor luck with two other Autumn Blaze maples from Lowe's (lost both a couple years ago) but we'll see how this one does.  Both went at the foot of the steepest part of the back hill.

More moves: I moved the two tiny white pines from the Road Cut to the edge of the meadow right behind the black gum, where I can see them and they will provide some structure.  One of them I planted three times in three different holes until I got it right where I wanted it.

I moved the bearded irises --- again.  I had just dug them up and divided them and put them in the Birch Garden (you're supposed to divide in fall, oh well).  Now I dug the divisions up and moved them to the front walk.

They are so pretty, but I just can't figure out where to grow them.
