Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's been raining since long before daylight, so the gardens and all the new plants are getting a lovely soaking. It'll be cooler today, only around low to mid 60s; and the rain will be off and on most of today. Yesterday: I had a very busy day. In the morning I went to a vendor fair, and it was well worth getting up early for! Not only did I make some great new contacts, I got a lot of ideas about what to do (and not to do) when I participate in one! A quick stop in a favorite local flea market, and then I went back home. But, it was too hot and humid to do much yet, so my friend and I went to a sale at the community college arboretum, where we got several nice plants (including a few unusual tomato varities - one is "chocolate plum"!). Then I went to another favorite spot, a gift shop/nursery. I got a few small herbs and a lovely sunset colored rose (on sale!!); but I actually didn't find what I wanted. Home again, and most of the new plants got planted in the garden or in pots ... before the rain came! :) Today: I will have to make a trip to town to pick up yet another refill. Other than that, I hope to make a lot of progress on the current "project". When a project is "in process", everything is a bit jumbled; I'm ready to be straightened again! :)
