It couldn’t have been nicer.
•Opened some lovely gifts from Tracyand his always thoughtful card.
• Picked Matt up at 8:00 for breakfast at Papa Jack’s and then spent well over an hour at Wayside Nursery. Bought a red bud to replace our dying dogwood tree in front of our house, five huge geraniums for the patio garden, and a new red hydrangea as well as a few other perennials. Matt bought me another forsythia for Mother’s Day and a beautiful hanging pot of purple and white million bells for my birthday. Tracy bought me a lovely shade container garden for our front porch. Always love shopping for plants with these two guys.
• Came home and dug in the dirt. All the new plants are in and several hundred maple seedlings have been removed from various beds around the house.
• Visited with Tracy’s mom and they planted our gift of the biggest New Guinea impatiens I’ve ever seen. Looks great near the front steps of the B&B.
• Had a nice call from Sarah–also a delightful card and a new book of poems by Mary Oliver.
• Went to see Miss Potter which was just a lovely movie–tender, sad, and uplifting–beautiful photography.
• Decided not to open the school bag. Hope I don’t regret it tomorrow.
