Let The Sun Shine . . .

Today was a beautiful Tuesday!     The weather was amazing, and my s.o. took the day off (for the first time since we bought the business in December).     We went out for a leisurely breakfast, then we went to Lowe's Garden Center for plants for the kidney-shaped "island" bed in front yard.     We bought enough flowers, ground cover, ivy, bulbs and fillers to "define" the shape of the bed, and bought new (red) pine-straw to replace the worn-out pine-straw already in the bed.     The bed already has three tall trees -- two on one side and one on the other.     A white Adirondack chair will be placed in between the trees, and the overall presentation of the vignette will be analyzed for what is still needed to make it warm and inviting.

After planting all of the new foliage, we were picked up by our friends Charles and Barbara, and we took their new boat out for its maiden Georgia voyage.     We spent the afternoon (four hours) on the lake, cruising the waters, listening to Jimmy Buffet and Joe Cocker tunes, and soaking up the sun!     What a glorious way to spend a Tuesday afternoon!

Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice, sunny day as well . . . I'm thinking of dropping the top on the new convertible and cruising up to Chattanooga for a few errands, meeting a friend for lunch, and picking up some more plants that my friend has for me from her garden.     She also has cuttings of wisteria that I am going to add to grow in as a canopy over the area in the backyard designated for the birds and squirrels.     There are about ten separate feeders and a bird-bath already in the area, situated between two large trees, that will be perfect for training a canopy of wisteria.     I'll add a couple of butterfly bushes and have a little wildlife sanctuary tucked in the corner of my backyard.

All-in-all, today was a beautiful day . . .
