Greetings, All.
Old Mt. Woman: hope all is well.
I did get off my chair and outside. I raked a large area of flower gardens. No more dead flower stalks. I found three mouse nests – no mice. This garden has Goldenrod and Sylphium running wild in it. Those roots must be dug out. The Sylphium will grow to ten feet tall! That is too tall for a garden that is between the house and the driveway.
Today, I am meeting my daughter for our annual Mother’s Day Shopping Spree – at a garden center. She gives me a gift certificate and I get some lovely things, like, blueberry bushes, or a clematis. This year I have spots for more shrubbery – in place of those darn rhizomatic Goldenrod and Sylphium. Hopefully, some of her darling sons will join us; they can choose something to remember.
I hope all of you are enjoying your weekend. The Bluebirds and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are back so Spring is finally on track.
