We've had 3 good days in about the last month, I have to just keep doing. The last good day, if you call it that, it broke the rain up with a 99 degree muggy sunny day, then another 2 weeks of rain, muggy, showers, thunder storms, they are saying next monday no rain, today is good though, but I am at work.

Have to keep moving my stock in and out of cover, they have just not had enough break from the weather to dry down.

But it lets me have time to sit and work on trees, last week read thru my stack of Bonsai Today, and articles I have been grabbing from various sites. Actually it has been a good experience, I had kind of backed away from "bonsai" for a bit after a fast move and bad decisions for winter care, I lost most of my stock, and I kind of let things go for a while. With all the reading I have been doing since this past Nov., I have taken a different , more mature approach so to speak about bonsai for myself, and have started to build my collection again, and I think I like the new me so to speak. I have participated in 3 work shops Arthur Skolnick, Graham Potter, and Nick Lenz since November, I am probably going to one in August with Suthin, 3 collection trips, successfull too, and 4 new bonsai starts, Juniper and a JBP from NEBG, a Hinoke Cypress for a contest from Nursery stock, and a Mugo. Except from being too soggy, this year has been good for Bill's Bonsai.
