beautiful morning, more like august than october.
going outside to give a greeting and pep talk to my new rhododendron.

had to have 3 yews pulled out yesterday. poor things finally gave up the ghost from the deer munching on them towards the end of each winter. i think they did survive for about 40 years so...

i'm not even sure what color the rhodie is but he looked really healthy and he was the one that wanted to come home here so here he is. i hope he makes it.
