Saturday this 'n' that

Still light outside at 8pm, which is one of my favorite things about spring into summer. Shopped. Bought two altheas and planted same. Cleaned the gutters. Fixed a solar lantern, fashioning a new hanger/handle from a piece from a wire hanger.

What I didn't do was touch the lava rock. Got started too late. Didn't feel like hassling with the landscape cloth. Have decided that hassling with landscape cloth is one of my least favorite things to do in the world. Would rather clean out a gutter with my bare hands, and did just that.

Baked banana bread, and watched cooking shows. Covet a really nice sauté pan.

Tomorrow's Mothers Day. Bought a big bouquet, those big daisies and smaller daisies and some strange blooms I swear are orchids, and set it in the living room. Mom's African violet, which is the only one she was ever able to get to bloom, is showing a couple of buds. She loved spring. Gardened for as long as she was able, grew roses and vegetables. But she was very, very proud of that violet.
