Carol, am sure the rain is going to stop shortly, took Kathy to Barrie to garage sale and out for breakfast..poured rain..no garage sales, took her to buffet restaurant - closed till 11:30 for brunch (this is 8:10am) so down the street is a Cora's so we ate, know a friend of mine keeps telling me she 'wants' a muskoka chair so picked it up at Canadian Tire so I can do hers at same time I do mine, by now rain is starting to die down, of course, couldn't pass the garden center, picked up a few more shrubs (knock me silly!) told her as she doesn't get out much I'd take her the back route, WELL we got to Elmvale, sun is shinning AND sign says 50 garage sale/vendors at community center for July 1st celebration..didn't take long for the car to turn..I purchased a silver plate for a project I'm doing and they had a black metal type candle light for $10.00 was a must have so it came home with me, will take a photo and post...then outside OMG they had hundreds of lilies, now people were purchasing them like hotcakes, not before I bought 3..they are extremely tall (as you can see in the photo) and they take sun/sun/sun I'm told and they bloom late July, later than all the others, I've a black red/ pink varigated and I believe a yellow one, will have to check the tags..

So I'm extremely pleased with my day so far, now I have to do some planting, came in to change because it is sooo hot and muggy, wow is it muggy, put my coolant bandana in water so it will be ready and I'm off to 'play gardener' for a while, then will put the chair back together and fill the screw holes ready for basecoating tonight...

Now you all have me wondering about the wisteria, went and checked the tag and yes, it's called 'Chinese Creeping Wisteria' must get more info before I plant it..sounds as though over the years it could do damage...

As you can tell, I'm on a high, can't stay long, will respond to you all when I come in..July 1st parade in town will be happening shortly..we're a small town not much to the parade but you know, it's just on my street so I don't want to miss it...kids do so enjoy it...I'll take some photo's...

Better run...
