I put moss on the trees I'm taking to the National Show. Did a practice shohin display set up.

One of my JWP is shedding old needles. I cleaned them out of the pads.

Bonsai wise. Fertilizing. Cleaning out the wintering area and start building an enclosure. Mixing up more peanut butter and concrete. Maybe put some young elms and Tamarack and Scots pines in the ground to grow.
Then since my wife doesn't get home until after midnight Rupert and I will be lurking in the woods. Looking for Bigfoot. There's been a couple reports in the last couple weeks of odd things. Weird noises and sounds. Someone says they saw eye shine 7 or 8 feet off the ground next to the road about 5 miles from here.

Absolutely and completely doting on my daughter and wife, BBQ'ing two dozen blue crabs, driking, and maybe some bonsai stuff too

Going to the Lake of the Ozarks for 4 days of drinking, eating, relaxing and .... Got the son on tree duty . But have a backup. It's going to be cooler this weekend, so think they'll be OK, we've had a lot of rain lately and will make sure they're in good shape before we leave. Fingers crossed! Considered taking a couple of the little ones with me, but thought that what would be a little OCD!

I seem to have successfully rooted a few American elm cuttings so I might have a few extra next year too.

Don't understand it but I cannot find the thread; didn't we discuss the dangers of
mixing Habanero sauce with Chinese take out?
Seriously; hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, holiday.

"Labor Day" is celebrated on May 1st here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers'_Day

In France, 1 May is a public holiday. It is, in fact, the only day of the year on which employees are legally obliged to be given leave, save professions which cannot be interrupted due to their nature (such as workers in hospitals and public transport).[50] Demonstrations and marches are a Labour Day tradition in France, where trade unions organise parades in major cities to defend workers' rights. It is also customary to offer a lily of the valley to friends or family. This custom dates back to 1561, where Charles IX, aged 10, waiting for his accession to the throne, gave a lily of the valley to all ladies present. Today, the fiscal administration exempts individuals and workers' organisations from any tax or administrative duties related to the sales of lilies of the valley, provided they are gathered from the wild, and not bought to be resold.
