Week Past 04/23-04/29/07
Planting Week
I'd call this planting week. Wed 04/25 was my day off. It was also the day that our airconditioner was delivered and installed. So while the technicians were busy installing it at the side of the house I planted a maple tree in our backyard. I bought it Tue 04/24 at our store on my way home. It's called "Autumn Blaze" that turns red orange during autumn. I hope it survives. Sun 04/29 after mass and brunch at the Wilds W and I went to Cals Garden and Market. We ended up buying a "Sweet Sixteen Apple" tree, border plants and a bird bath. So I undertook another planting mission after catching a "power" nap. At my age one should comprehend the body's need to recharge especially if one must undertake "hard" labor:-) . I took pictures of the two trees (left is the maple and right the apple) and border plants (center pic) that I planted. Hoping that it survives it would be nice to have a "then" and "now" pictured chronicle. Sun 04/29 is also my Dad's birthday so I dedicate to him the apple tree that I planted Sun. He turned 82 in CA.
Bloody Day
Wed was also the day that I was again able to donate blood at a Red Cross drive at Burnsville's Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. This time my blood was kind of sluggish. Probably I lacked fluids since I just came from the gym. It took a bit longer to fill the blood bag compared to my last donation. I thought it would be aborted but the attendant just made some adjustments on the needle stuck in my arm. It would have been a waste of time and resources. Not to mention my "royal" :-) blood. It would be of no use.
Birthday atThe Old Neighborhood
Sat 04/28 was the birthday celebration of Lynette, Keith's better half. The couple who bought our house in Farmington. Walking around the house brings back memories. The hostas I planted are starting to sprout again. The bunch is thicker. So are some of the lillies. I remember while I was planting them late afternoon my uncle from TX called inviting me to move to their place. I told him we'll see. One thing I noticed about the lillies is that there are no rabbit nibbles. I hope those rabbits (they've multiplied remember?) didn't follow us to Prior Lake:+) Somehow I now feel a bit cramped after experiencing the woods and lake view at Prior Lake. Still it's our first home in the YuHesHey. It's filled with memories.

Those plants will grow to be tall trees, I'm sure.
Air condition? In a month or two, malamig na ulit hahaha

I hope you have a tongue of an angel [dilang anghel :)]. Kailangan pa rin ng aircon kahit na panandalian lang dahil matindi rin pag nag heat wave dito. Enjoy kayo sa summer diyan...
