Saunders is still with us this morning. She's eating and scratching and bossing poor Penny around, so I don't think she feels too bad. When John gets home I think we're going to give her a bath. Fun times!

We only got a few plants in, but Leonard told us where a bunch more of them go. We're putting the Stella fig next to the shed, and the hardy kiwis on the fence on the east side of the lot. It shouldn't be too hard to get those planted on our own. I still don't know where the elderberries go.

I've got gooseberries! I'm still amazed.
