Fall Planting Weekend

Well, you getting sick of reading about all my great weekends? If so, skip over this one, because it was another fun one! Sandy visited us to help us plant fall bulbs and plants. First she had to drive all over southern New York to get to us, since the NYS Thruway got closed because of the big snow storm in Buffalo. The longer drive was scenic though, and she saw no traces of snow.


Though some of our fall flowers were still in bloom, it was time to think about next year. Laura and Sandy planted close to a hundred bulbs and plants around the yard. They divided plants, and spread them around. I dug a new bed behind the deck to put in the new hibiscus that Sandy bought for us. It was hard work, but I think it will look great. We had a cold weekend, but we dodged the raindrops and got everything done.


We did find time to do other things though. We went to the movies. We ate out at the Crystal Barn. We watched football and hockey.


We found a good balance, and Sandy always helps us keep the house in order, doing all our dishes and being a gracious guest. No wonder we like when she visits!


We even got some letterboxing in. We walked an old railroad bed, enjoying the fall colors. Joystar and Daffy Lady are seen here making the grab!
