Due to the fact that we are supposed to get some serious rain this weekend/upcoming week

I decided to do some other stuff

finished up the alley and sprayed a heavy dose of weedkiller
just to make sure (this is the only place I use it)

Then I started on the iris "run"

dug up all my irises from surrounding areas divided them up and replanted them along the run

this is the order of my pics

before-ish (not at the very beginning)
after

Black Beauty!! Oh My Gosh!! it got huge!! and it's only a second year!! :eek::eek:
didn't think I was gonna get it dug up (yes that is all from one tuba originally)

then there's the 3 baby 'quirrels I've been babysitting since yesterday afternoon
probably put them back up there 8 times last night (with a board)
haven't seen one adult anywheres in 2 days

and a silly daffy'o'dilly just cuz


Had other stuff I wanted to do but kinda pooped out early
but there is always tommorrow (I'll work in the rain if it ain't to hard) ;)

Wolfie,
Do the babies have their eyes open yet? If you don't see a mom I worry about dehydration. They look really close to being on their own but you might want to keep a real close check on them. I had a tree surgeon friend who always brought me babies to rehab. I actually kept one for 12 years. They do not make good pets though because as they become sexually mature they become very mean.

Tracey, about the tree at first glance I thought it was a Giant tarantula but with a closer look it is a nest of baby squirrels. Wolfie posted this back in April so I'm sure that the little ones are grown by now.
