So it has been a few days since I last posted. I would like to say that I have been very busy doing things that will bring world peace, end hunger, and make life better for everyone. Alas, I cannot claim any of those lofty goals. Damn. I wish I could.
However , I have been doing things around the house that have been very productive and pleasurable. Maryann and I have been working on our garden plots - transplanting from the patio to the front of the house and getting new plants too. There is something therapeutic about planting flowers and shrubs. We have been very fortunate in previous plantings and transplantings. We did take out an evergreen because it was time. It had been around since we built the house 16 years ago and it was time to open up the view to the front of the house. So, out it went. Impatiens and Sweet Alyssum will look much better.
Bleeding hearts were moved from the patio to the front too. And they look marvelous. We were even able to save a few Hostas by moving them to the front. We did give some to our neighbors across the corner.
Perhaps I can take a few photos and include them in a future posting. Yes, that is a great idea. Now back to the Black Russian and thinking about what to have for dinner.
Ta, ta for now.
Share the love in your heart!

we'll soon be filling our garden and/or containers with impatiens and sweet alyssum--maybe toss in a few petunias for good measure... your descriptions make me yearn to see everything in bloom right now!
hope the yard work continues to go well-- and by all means, do share those pictures! : D
Jeez Louise! Blogger must be havin' a *hiccup* today! Been tryin' to leave you a message fo-ev-ar! LOL!
Anyhow, ditto everything puppytoes said! Our Astilbe, Veronica, Yarrow, Bee Balm Bush and even the Coneflower are coming on. Then I have my Joe Pye and Butterfly Bush for later.
This time of the year is *magical*.
Hey, ardlair, you might get a chuckle out of this one.
A number of years ago at an essay contest sponsored by our Optimist, a young lady (16 years of age) used the glass analogy for her speech. As I recall the theme was about optimism in her life. She said that some folks see the glass half empty, others see it is half full, but she saw it as totally full. Her reasoning had to do with the need for both water and air to survive.
Now how optimistic is that? She certainly garnered a place in this guys heart and memory. The things we can learn from the young, innocent and naive.
