Busy all day preparing for & participating in an art show. Got home at 7 - in the rain and fog - and told my wife I had to do a PAD (or be thrown out of the association of PAD'rs). Out into the gloom and rain to the neighbor's pink flowering dogwood. Oh - and it was breezy, but my trusty Plamp (plant clamp) helped save the day and held the branch steady for me (mostly). Getting close to my 1st PAD anniversary - and I have no thought of quitting.
