What a Gorgeous Day!

Sunny, blue skies, slightly cool…the perfect spring day!

I tackled my deck today - it gets really grimy over the winter. It’s a trex deck, thank goodness, so is super easy to clean. It takes an hour or so but looks so fabulous when it’s done. And now it, and the patio furniture (cast aluminum) are sparkling!

Early this evening I went to the “Hortlandia” plant sale, an event hosted by the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon. It’s been going on for an absolutely years now and so very well run. It’s kind of like an indoor market for all things garden related - plants of course….tens of thousands at least, being sold by many vendors both well established and new - and garden art, tools, books, and clothing. It definitely becomes completely overwhelming (at least to me). But I got there early, connected with at least a dozen people that I knew, and…yes…even though I swear I have no room, managed to purchase a few choice plants. Be still my heart - gosh I was in my element. But my patience ran out after about 90 minutes and I hightailed on home. After carefully placing my new plants, ready to be planted tomorrow, I went to the back deck to admire just how sparkly clean it was, and noticed that the sky over the golf course was looking particularly lovely tonight!
