Mum's the Word Today
After visiting Curves this morning I went to my first volunteer job with the Technical Arts Minstry at church, making sermon copies for those who request CD's or audiotapes. I tinkered with an extra project there, but unfortunately was not able to complete that part of my job.
I also have a second volunteer job as receptionist (and also hope to complete training as counselor) at an abortion-alternatives clinic. I will be writing an entry about that another time.
After church, I went to Lowes for a couple of bags of garden soil and discovered a sale in progress in the garden center.
I assume I need say no more than ---- wahoooooo!!!
I wandered up and down the aisles several times, admiring pansies and other lovely annuals marked down to good prices. But I'd decided not to plant any more annuals this year.
I forced my eyes away from the pansies's pretty little faces and surveyed the other offerings ---- perenniels --- that's what I need.
oooooooohhhhh, everywhere I looked there they were
-- in rusty red
-- pale lilac
-- medium purple
-- creamy white
-- vivid yellow
-- palest white tinged with lavendar frills
So I began pondering the color scheme I wanted --- and loaded some in the cart
-- and a few more
-- and tomorrow's task is awaiting me out in the front yard project
-- even though I am not caught up with what I've already got going out there
-- so please --- don't tell the Official Front Yard Landscape Inspectors to come by my house.
Mum's the word.

Karyl,
I need to take a pic and send to you to see if you know the name of these 2 plants.
THey were planted together in a container, I removed them placed them in the ground, and it is just the most beautiful color spot and tall whispy tall plant.
They grow well with not much water and can take our California central valley dry heat. (106* today).
I thought of your dry summers and thought if you could see these you would want them too. No maintenance, maybe water lightly once a week, that's it!
Congrats on your finds at Lowes, I have to stay away from garden centers.. LOL, even the one my son works at!
