Filling in the Spaces

We had a rare Saturday at home together yesterday. We took a walk through Maymont and finally decided to buy a grill. I hung up our first load of laundry on the clothes line (and only had one frustrating incident of the line getting too much slack and dropping dish towels and tank tops in the mulch).


We then spent most of the afternoon working in our garden. We planted three rows of edamame seeds (from mom and dad W), cucumber plants, several sweet basil plants, and marigolds throughout. I planted two different types of Lantana (one white and one red/orange) on separate ends of the garden while S mounded up the potatoes.



We planted more zinnia seeds and promised each other that we would not stomp on them, pick them, or dig them up as we did the first set. I became enamored by wave petunias at a patient's house last week, and bought two purple ones for pots in our backyard. Our little owl finally has a home tucked in between flowers. And, our security kitty prowls the territory and sits guard in between the tomato plants.

Strawberry!

We picked our first strawberry today!
It was the best strawberry that I have ever eaten.
Perhaps one of the smallest, too.

We were so excited about it that we forgot to take a picture of the first one.
Take my word for it, it was awesome
