Sun 27 Apr

Really nice time in Madison this weekend. Enjoyed spending time with you Friday evening, celebrating your birthday (and your new job!) Bought lots of plants at the Farmer's Market and Costco which we hopefully will plant outside this afternoon, amid assurances from the farmers that it's okay to do so. We got a gorgeous tall orange-blossoming azalea bush to put behind the white one in the front yard, and a unique variety of white bleeding heart to complete the grouping. We bought some shade-tolerating perennials to try again along the front fence, some lavender to plant alongside the garage, chamomile near the chives, and something new for the herb table. I'm going to wait on the rest of the herbs a little longer. Too many treats again today between Newman after-church social and Suzuki after-Festival concert.
