Yesterday was a relax and reflect day. I went for my walk early and guess who I happened upon. It was my friend and her big German Shepherd dog. "P" is the one who gave me the clumping bamboo and that was the first time I had seen them walking in that area. We had a nice chat and I invited her to come to our house and bring her dog again. I had invited her to come before Christmas, but she had previous plans and she is a very busy woman. Still working! Gosh, I wish I could work.
When I got home I went straight to the kitchen and made coleslaw to go with lunch and dinner. Then I went outside and trimmed and examined and preened and tidied up. Then I had a brainstorm. I cut some Asparagus Fern from my garden, some Azalea, Kalanchoe, and Red Tip Photinia from the neighbor's yard and made her a beautiful bouquet of them. The Azalea was blooming because of the very hot weather we've had and it's a gorgeous magenta color. They were gone walking their dog so I just put it on the front porch. When she got back she came down and asked if I had left it and she hugged me. Such a small token, but it meant so much to her. She came in and we talked for quite awhile. DH and I offered to help them move into their new home in March.
I also transplanted about 20 Vinca seedlings to my other neighbor's yard. I am keeping the strawberries and Pink Baby's Breath plot watered at her house. We did get a few minutes of rain last night and I'm thankful for that.
Have a wonderful Monday! Peace & Plenty.
