Garden sale

What's almost as good as the monthly library book sale? The annual garden club plant sale. Local plants, cultivated locally by local gardeners. With all that new garden footage in the back yard to fill we did quite a bit of shopping today, and then we spent the warm, sunny afternoon planting our fifteen some odd new plants (which cost us but a song and supported a local club). We also stopped by the locally owned garden center for some dirt, and explored their ornamental pond while there, something we do every year...because it's always home to a frog or two.

And normally after a day of planting I'd be thankful for the rain that is gently falling outside right now, watering the newly installed plants, but really, I think we've had enough rain this week.
