Rob's sister Debbie and her husband Bruce arrived yesterday for a visit. They were in the city to attend a wedding. Debbie brought a flat of annuals sent by Rob's mom and a lap quilt made by ladies in the Southville Church of Christ congregation.
So this afternoon, I spent an enjoyable hour figuring out where to plant things and even made a hanging basket for the light post. The flat of annuals included: draconian spikes, begonia, impatiens, dusty Miller, dianthus, geraniums, petunias and coleus. After all the yard work I napped, I just don't have the go, go, go I used to; but I'm learning that's okay and I'm taking it easy when I need to.
The quilt is made in rich, autumn tones. Debbie confided that Rob's mom helped choose the material and she knows I love the vibrant colours of fall. The church makes a number of these quilts a year which they send to church family members who are sick. It's the perfect size for snuggling under on the couch.
We also planted some grass seed today and took the dogs on a short hike along one of the rail bed trails. The black flies weren't too bad, unless you stopped moving and then they were voracious. We still have a few items to knock off the weekend to-do list, but it is shorter tonight than it was this morning.
You accomlished more than I did weekend - and you blogged about it too. I feel inadequate. Thanks, Sue. Overachiever. We did some planting today - here's hoping for a mild spring!
