Sounds like a wonderful day, George. I love seeing old
friends too. :-)
I went to the Plant Delights open house today with my oldest
child. We had a good time looking at their display gardens
and choosing plants. Got some rain lilies, and some plants
to go around the pond.
Now to find time to plant them........
The vegetables didn't do well this year due to drought and
neglect.
I have mostly lurked on all the lists this summer due to
time and family and work constraints.
I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts and laughing
as some of the escapades. Hope this finds everyone
well and life being good.
