...was planted on Friday afternoon, on the southwest side of da Lane. We also planted the Hemlock Memorial Tree from Kevin's Family next to the one we planted on January 6, 2007 at Dad's Memorial BonFire.
Turns out that after insisting daily since Dad's Memorial that she wanted a White Oak -- not a Red Oak, or a Pin Oak, or a Swamp Oak (all readily available locally) -- Mom doesn't remember requesting the White Oak, but seems glad that it's there to see each day as comes and goes to DayCare. It's on the same side of da Lane as the Magnolia she planted in Randy's Memory, and that should help her make a connection.
We dedicated Uncle Shorty's White Oak Tree and Hemlock Saturday morning before NancyTurtle's plane left. Carl, Patty, Nancy, Kevin and I planted the remainder of Dad's ashes, nuts, and bolts beneath. 
Behind Diana to the left you can see the Anniversary Bed (double white headboard) coming on with Chrysanthemums and those 'sub-zero' Pansies. The Hibiscus in the center of the Rose of Sharon Bed above that are now in their third blooming.
The ShortyMobile is ready to be delivered. "Ridin' fine!" says CMo.
This weekend marks the resolve of a number of the major Estate Issues! *does the Dance o' Joy*
Before leaving, NancyTurtle moved (and hauled water for) two of da Lane bareroot trees (now five to seven years old) to the southeast side of da Lane, between the Pussy Willow Tree, behind the Flowering Almond, and south of Drew and Cinda's Wedding Tree. Many, many thanks!
NancyTurtle has since arrived safely to her off-the-grid locale. *waves in a southwesterly direction*
The four other gifted Hemlocks from the C-Fam were also planted on Friday, along the driveway south of da Red House.
Happy September's End, October Begin!!

Has anyone else had the urge to call the picture of dp and Carl "A New American Gothic"?
