Morning everyone!

It looks to be a busy day. I need to get my raised bed filled with soil and to get all my plants in during today and tomorrow. DH also wants to take a trip to a different Trader Joe's than the one he works at and I want to stop at yet another store to see if I can find some small pots. We went to HD last night but the smallest they had were 4". Bought some of those, but I have a bunch of tiny rosemary plants that have just rooted and they need something much smaller as the next step from the starter tray.

M5, good luck with the kitten search! It looks like we may be acquiring a new one ourselves. Somebody stuffed a litter of 4 kittens, no more than 6 weeks old --- probably less, into a collapsible hamper and threw them into the dumpster behind a shopping mall. There's a little tiger-striped female with huge fuzzy ears who is reputed to be the friendliest of the batch. We have a couple of pictures that my friend, the assistant animal control officer took for us and this kitten reminds me of the critters in that "gremlin" movie. (Wouldn't be surprised if she ended up being named either Gizmo or Gremlin.) DH has been moaning for years that everyone else has a cat and he doesn't. Maybe this is the one.

Have to get going, "but first" took a picture of some of the iris in front of my store. The white ones always draw comments from customers, but the "black" ones are my favorites.
