Two Weeks Left

We have just about settled on a fence solution and I will probably pick up the material today. There are only a few questions to be answered regarding the anchoring of the panels, and the store salesperson can answer those - I hope.

The weather is perfect - no winds, but hot. The forecast calls for our first 100+ degree day tomorrow, following a forecasted 99 today. It will then cool down into the 80's for a few days so it shouldn't be too bad to work outside.

The flowers are arriving so the vases that she has greened the last few days will begin to fill up and become full arrangements. There are hundreds of them ready for flowers.
