Delphinium
Pink daisies
No deep thoughts today. It was all about making progress in the yard. With only ten days left till the garden show, I think we'll make it. The final fifty feet of the border garden was raked, weeded, tilled and planted. I transplanted shrubs, lilies and iris and then added a dozen new perennials. Then we moved on to the birdbath garden and completely finished it! Only two gardens and fifteen pots left to do.
When I was spraying the liquid fence, I discovered that the deer are eating the tops of the stella d'oro lilies, the rose bush and the liatris. Why? With all the luscious greenery around the area, why come up close to the house to eat a few flowers?
Tomorrow, Steve is going to finish putting preservative on the back deck and I'm going to paint the foundation. The annual retirement party is at Merritt Winery and we will honor a few esteemed colleagues. We have had two losses this year and it will be good to reconnect with friends we haven't seen in a year.
