"When Do You Want To Dig Up The Bushes?"

In over forty-two years of marriage my wife has asked me a lot of funny questions, but this one is ridiculous and I did LOL.  If I made a list of one thousand things I might want to do, I promise you that digging up bushes would not make the list.

My wife loves to garden and she's really, really, really good at it.  Moving rocks and plants and bushes are just not fun for me and if I had the choice I would prefer to do it during rem sleep, but only once a month.

Our neighborhood is still being built and the two model houses in the front of the neighborhood and around the corner from us, have been sold.  They have started on the landscaping and in the next week they will begin on the rest of the property.

Since it's in the front of our neighborhood, there are at least a couple dozen plants, flowers, and other things in the ground for people to see.  My wife asked our neighborhood advisor if we could dig up some of the plants that were about to be dug up and FORTUNATELY she said we could.

Thirty minutes after my wife asked me the question, the two of us were digging up I think six bushes. These are the pictures of my wife after we captured our prey.  I told her I needed the picture for when the police came by to ask what we were doing.    

       

Do you think anyone will notice that the bushes are gone?

 

Did we get enough bushes? Absolutely not and two days later we had to go back and get three more.  

This one was more challenging. They are building a house next door and before they could fill in the hole some of the dirt collapsed taking part of our fence and two garbage cans with them pictured below.

                              

Our wheel barrel was in the back and we couldn't take it along the side, so we carried it through the house.  When we arrived back to the house from digging up the bushes, we carried two of the bushes through the house to the backyard.  We now have a bunch of bushes that will look nice for many years.
