With masks on and hand sanitizer in my purse, Larry and I got up early and went to the garden center. We usually are at the beach this time of year and wait till we come home to plant the three huge pots on the back patio. Since all trips have been cancelled till August (if we are able to go to London then) we decided to buy plants now.

We arrived at the garden center before it was busy and found the plants that we were looking for. It was wonderful being outside among all of the exotic plants…but my mask drove me crazy. It kept fogging up my glasses. It was worth it though.

When we came home, we planted the pots. Larry did most of the heavy lifting and planting this year, but thats ok….Look…

I am desperate to find something for the swan. It will be another week before I go to the garden center again.

Yesterday, I fell sound asleep watching a movie. Larry gently woke me up and he was holding a large, beautiful planter! He said: This planter is from Lew and Debbie next door. I was in awe. It is so beautiful but why? It isn’t mine or Larry’s birthday….The card said: Thank you for everything that you do. (we truly don’t do anything. Maybe share a dinner once and awhile. We just have awesome neighbors)

Yes, Larry will move it to a cooler place when he starts the grill….but isn’t it beautiful? I think that these new mini petunias are a favorite of mine now.

The patio looks wonderful. I think that my reading hour will be out at the patio table today.

How thankful I am to have such amazing people in our lives. Thank you Debbie and Lew. You are wonderful neighbors!

Laundry is swirling, I have walked my laps at the lake and now, even though I have quite a few chores to do, I am dying to grab my kindle and head to the back patio…..perhaps later. Wink.

Love you beyond the moon. (Full Moon is on Thursday!)
