Saturday was an amazing day! The morning was spent buying 400 flower bulbs for the yard (just a start!). While The Biker and The Ironman were at the races (see next post), The Gardener and The Golfer were with Miss Millie (who was visiting) in the backyard enjoying the 80+ degree weather. It was a gorgeous day and The Gardener was tickled to be living the dream. I'd finished planting some fall pansies and cabbage when Fran from two doors down came over. Fran and Wally are having major basement work done starting Monday (sounds familiar) and had dug up all of their landscaping around their home. She had plants to give me if I wanted them. Of course I did! It was a great thing that Landscaper John had been over the week before to cut more flower beds. We now have new purple Rose of Sharon, red Bee Balm, some yellow things we don't know the name of and more Black Eyed Susans. I also got the Peony planted that had been at Mom and Dad's and prior to that at Mo and Po's...it's been in a pot for year and loves its new spot.
All in all, a wonderful day except for a little bit of grumpy from The Golfer who was not on the course and does NOT enjoy gardening...he offered a little bit of a helping hand. THANK YOU Golfer for painting and putting up the "birdie condo".
