In past three days we have received and unloaded two truck loads of trees, shrubs, and perennials.

In between the unloading and sorting, we filled and  shipped two truck loads of plants to a wholesale account. Yep, we have been behind and running crazy for that last few days. In the meantime we also managed to set a brand new record for,

   ---  our largest single day's retail sales ever!

Our retail trees, shrubs and a few perennials have been in hiding for a long time.  Actually we placed them under their winter blanket back in late September last year.

Today we were finally able to free them from the vicious snowbank that had held them hostage for the past eight months.

Happily they don't look too bad, some will need re-potting, most need a bit of grooming, and a sad few will need a decent burial. Considering the past rotten winter, I had to be happy, that any had survived their eight month,
   --- forced hibernation!

As it turned out, We loaded and shipped out two trailer loads of plants, to a wholesale client today. 

Unfortunately their travel turn around time was not fast enough, or their trailer was not big enough. So we will have to repeat the whole procedure again tomorrow.

We estimated that it would take four or  more trips to haul everything the client had ordered, and that is what we are still thinking after today's double shipment.

    ---- Oh well, it's just another day on the job!
