Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Yesterday it got quite warm, but more and more cloudy and dark as the day went on. By late evening, it had started to rain ... or rather, sprinkle hard. This morning I woke up to cloudy and wet. YAY! It'll be warm again, low to mid 80s; and cloudy and windy all day, with scattered showers. We still have some planting to do, will get to in between showers. :)
One of the cabinets is put together, and I really am going to like this new storage system. We also got the herb "garden" (in a container) planted, some irises, and some weeding done. Plus, we got the errands done (and the car got fixed!). We "discovered" a habitat "restore" where we hadn't know there was one. That was a fun discovery! And, we persuaded Lowe's to sell us some plants they had nearly killed off for $1 ... brought them home and watered, and they perked right up!
Today, hopefully, the other 2 cabinets will be assembled, the azaleas planted, and whatever else we can fit it. :)
