Back we went on Friday. It was quite busy, and probably half is gone!
You can tell it is spring, a pothole.
I love the dandelions! People are realizing we need not eradicate them with horrid chemicals.
Ta da! Caitlin brought me two planters for Mother's Day, they are coming along nicely. I've planted some of the others with blue wave petunias, geraniums, asters, alyssum, lobelia, and some other fun flowers.
When I bought this planter last year, it was full of cascading petunias and alyssum. Here it was. Beautifully, carefully nurtured in the greenhouse.
We'll see if I can recreate it! I doubt it, but I'll do my best.
I had two helpers when I was weeding. They left when I hauled out the whipper snipper. The mosquitoes were not dissuaded, however.
The fountain is going great guns. Soon the planter will fill out.
Isn't the aster pretty?! Another impulse buy. I saw lots of shoppers at the nursery. Only one had a list. I didn't feel so bad. Lots of husbands pushing carts, like mine. There was one man, I kept running into him in the aisles, who was thorough and meticulously choosing plants on his own. I just whipped up and down chucking plants on the cart. That's my style!
Butch raccoon has been looking for seeds where the bird feeder used to sit.
I toddled down to the shed, once the cats took off. Phoebe is sitting on her eggs!
The fishies are happy, too. They will be happier when the pond weeds grow and give them some protection.
A morning visitor.
