Even though I didn't get to play with paper in the last couple of days, it's been wonderful to see all the beauty around us this Spring. When I arrived at my friend's house on Friday night, I opened to car door and had the wonderful scent of the ocean surrounding me. When we got back from dinner, the sky was so clear! I looked up to see the Big Dipper and surrounding constellations. As I was driving home I was struck by the beauty of the multitudes of pretty yellow flowers on the weeds on the side of the road and the gorgeous green in the fields which just screams, "It's Springtime!" :>)
I got home to find my brother had arrived to visit and we had a nice trip out to Barron Brothers' Nursery in Camarillo to hunt for salvias and other plants he's been having a hard time finding in his area. I toted along my Western Garden Book to make sure they wouldn't die in Tulare. I ended up bringing home 5 new little friends (some pretty blue Penstamen) too.
We try to "do" birthdays whenever we get a chance, so he brought Aaron's ( my son's) birthday present from March and my birthday present for this coming August. I went ahead and bought part of his plants for him at the nursery so his birthday, in July, is taken care of too. :>) I ended up with a clock which meows on the hour for my kitchen. If you know my hubby, that might even make sense to you. :>)
