i fear you have an option of killing it with too much love.. GET IT IN THE GROUND ASAP!!!! mother earth.. is the best place to hold over stock ... then you have a month or two to figure out all the variables .. to plant it properly... but it would probably be best if you just put it where you want it ... why dig it up again if you can avoid it.... what is your native soil ... can you protect or shade it?? what is the soil drainage ... and forget about ferts and sprays... the plant is in shock.. no need to rescue it.. to shock it again in a month ... just get it done.. if the soil is anything but clay .....dig hole.. loosen soil ... insert plant at proper depth ... refill halfway ... tamp in lightly .... fill with water.. let drain out... refill the rest.. tamp in lightly.. but firmly .. and water again.. add shade if possible ... add mulch.. and keep properly watered for about 2 years.. water when your index finger.. inserted to the 2nd knuckle.. indicates it is hot or dry .. most plants need to nearly dry in between waterings ... if clay.. advise.. other options ... i would have preferred if you had waited until it was dormant.. but as you said.. sometimes.. you just gotta do what ya gotta do ... dont worry about it ... its hours from winter in WI anyway.. lol ... and i wouldnt be surprised if all the leaves fall off soon based on the fact that it is mid-spetember.. dont worry about that.. its all about those buds on the tips .... if they stay firm you will win ... if you can take care of business without over-thinking it.. or killing it with too much love.. you ought to be all set ... i usually horrify peeps who watch me .. when i just rip something out of the ground.. and stick it somewhere else.. and then water it properly.. but otherwise ignore it ...no over-thinking it here.. lol.. JUST DO IT now go seize the day.. or tree peony .. lol [i guess you already did.. lol] .. now let go of it .... ken ps: what did i miss gal?? lol pps: i potted and moved one .. over-wintered in the pot ... and it made it.. they arent as foo foo as you might think ....

i would not call that a 'yard' .. i would call that utility access ... and if i understand the map.. this connect one driveway with another from the alley ??? why is/are the a/c on the sidewalk ... is that permanent??? i dont understand this part: The wall is on our property but the top of the wall is our neighbors i see some patio stone.. to go around the a/c?? ,,, is the rest of the walkway poured.. or is that also block that can be moved??? thinking outside the box.. if possible.. you could make a much wider usable bed.. if the walkway was moved to the house.. to to the wall ... arbors.. strategically placed.. can aid as exterior window covering ... i am not TX expert.. but morning glory.. clematis.. autumn flower clematis [better be a stout arbor.. lol ..] ... all could be trained to provide a vertical screen.. with little or no footprint ... frankly.. i can think of no 'tree' that would work ... as i do not like planting things that i have to trim.. 2 or 3 times per year ... ken

http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/citrus/oranges.htm Scroll down and you'll see data on Valencia. I think you will be successful but if we get an untimely cold snap, you might lose fruit but you'll get some next year and the next. It is more detrimental to us hopeful gardeners wanting to taste fruit of our labor than to the tree itself. I live in Richmond. Grow all kinds of citrus and last spring lost ALL blossoms on satsuma, oranges, pomelo, limes, lemons, grapefruit. Next year will be better

anna, I can speak with authority now because the lights are actually in. (In the kitchen anyway. The track lights in the other room are sitting here but haven't been installed yet.) The lights in the diagram that appear over the edge of the counter are in fact installed so that they are centered over the edge of the granite. Now that they are in, I am happy with that - seems like the right decision. That puts good light on the front of the counters, the fronts of the upper cabinets, and on some of the floor. (When you aren't standing there.) After much discussion with the electrician and the other workers, the light in front of the frig/pantry was pulled out a bit so it is centered over the open floor space there. And we decided to add one more light, lined up with that one, in the center of the open space in front of the sink, and the corner of the L in the floor. Everybody thought it was a lot of lights. But I think it is good. Since they are all on dimmers I can have as much or as little light as I want. In retrospect I think I might have pulled the lights over the peninsula a little bit further from the hood. As it is, a good chunk of the beam from each one hits the hood. But I still get good light on the counter. And the hood has its own lights. Here are a couple of pictures that show the lights to some degree:
