semperfionaWow. I don't know what got into me, but I've been really ambitious this weekend with gardening. I got up this morning and cleaned up the debris from yesterday before going to the Great Perennial Divide plant sale with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
indigobynight and her daughter. I bought a few shade-loving plants, and then we went to the Missouri Botanical Garden for lunch. They were having an "English Country Faire" today, with Maypole and Morris dancing and people in costume. We wandered around the garden a while, watched the dancing, and so on.
Then I left to go home, but happened to pass Gringo Jones on the way, so I stopped in. I'm looking for some statuary for the front of my house: there used to be lions there, but the lady we bought the house from took them with her. Ever since, the front has been oddly bare. I would like to have griffins, and Gringo Jones turned out to have some. I have to find out whether they'll fit on the pillars, but if they do, I'm buying them.
After that, I stopped at Home Depot and bought yet more plants. Some purple pansies and yellow marigolds that Rosa and I will plant tomorrow, and a rose to replace the one I planted earlier this year which I thought was dead. When I went to dig it up, though, it was sprouting tiny shoots, so I just planted the new one next to it.
I came home around 5:30, and planted all my new purchases except for the flowers. I was tired, but I made myself mow the back yard, too.
More gardening tomorrow. Before I fetch Rosa from her daddy's, I'll finish mowing the lawn, and then after she gets here I want to plant the flowers with her. I think she'll like that, since they're already blooming and pretty.
