Obtaining plants has been proving to not be the easiest thing. All the taller (3-5') plants were either too weird, too wide, or too costly. And there was nothing like a rhododendron or dieffenbachia or even a fern to be found. Not that we could see, anyway, so I'm calling the nursery today to see if they do, indeed have said plants.

I just want to green up the rooms some. without having to put cut flowers in all the rooms before each showing - not asking for the moon.

And outdoor plants - well I got some wax begonias for the 2 urns on the porch,


but the flats of impatiens looked tiny for $12 each. And I'd need about 20 flats to give any kind of presence to the front beds. The hanging begonia baskets were $4 less than if I bought individual plants, so I'll just carefully extricate them from their baskets, no biggee.

We did manage to get more mulch - whoopdidoo - and his new grill (happy husband).

I'm did more painting yesterday - 2 windows, 1 door and frame and a baseboard section. 5 more doors and bits of baseboard await me today.

Here's what's been popping up almost overnight





Happy Spring Blooming to all!
