Caroline Jasmine under windmill.Today was exhausting!! I continued attempting to dig red clay out of the hole. The water hadn’t soaked in after twenty-four hours; red clay soil as hard as cement!! I hauled three laborious loads to the edge of the woods. Then I hauled three loads of decayed vegetation from another location (in the woods) to fill the hole.  The Carolina Jasmine is nested in Miracle Gro planter soil. Then windmill was “wiggled” into position and vine was “teased” around a “tomato cage.” In time, I hope the Jasmine will climb the structure of the windmill.  ~~  Too much exercise!! By three o’clock I could hardly move. As I focus on this pain, I’m not thinking about another year without contact from children and grandchildren. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day.
