Well, I got behind!

Critter, a person like that is worth their weight in gold! DH will weed, hoe in the garden and do my hardscaping, but has no desire to pick out plants. I guess I get to do all the fun stuff after all :o)

Jan, when do you get to wake up PopPop? I can't run mine ragged! And Mommy will soon get over those feelings :o)

LadyG, you're right. There is always a tomorrow. Even I am learning that and don't push to get it all done. I almost made it a contest with myself to get a bed done before the day is out. No more.

HollyAnn, I think you've found a solution we can all live with, LOL!! I'm not a slacker!!

LadyG, I'll bet that's what I have. I ordered the rose color anemone and got this instead. I love that violet! I've considered the grass and, oohhh, can't wait for an older picture of the hosta. What a cool name! I love the newer heucheras, but they aren't always hardy here. Beautiful leaf on the tiarella! I'd love to try the daphne, but don't have the room for more shrubs :o(

Sally, smiling over the 3'' comment. I love to mow, so I took it over years ago :o)

Ric, ROTFL&L!! That came out so well!

Howdy Ruby, we haven't met. I'm another Sally :o)

We had the grandkids unexpectedly yesterday, so I blew bubbles, chalked the sidewalk and the walnut tree. The little ones chalked their bellies :o) I got all but the front yard mowed, so that will go fast when the dew dries this morn. My hands are sore from planting garden and just being in a lot of water. Yesterday was a chance for them to heal. It looks to be another gorgeous day. If we get a last freeze, I'm gonna cry real hard!!

(((Big Hugs and a restful day LadyG)))

Water in a birdbath, simple, but makes an interesting picture.
