Day 902: Clematis and primrose

It was a lovely relaxing day filled with swimming, gardening, and walking.  I only did 100 lengths or 1/2 mile to give my body time to rest.  Steve hauled dirt to the side yard and then we created the new garden bed at the site of the old sycamore tree where a new redbud will be planted.

For dinner we traveled to South Dayton to dine on the porch of the Mustard Seed.  The menu is so good that we try new dishes each time we visit.  This time I had an asiago chicken and artichoke ciabatta while Steve had a barbecue chicken wrap.  When we arrived, we  spotted a single slice of lemon meringue pie left in the dessert case.  We claimed it immediately and gobbled it down quickly as our appetizer.  A crispy salad with salsa ranch dressing was next.  The first two courses were so filling we only ate half of our dinners.

Our evening concluded watching Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.  Delightful!  It's curious that the movie was inspired by Stefan Zweig, an Austrian author whose collected works are housed at Fredonia State!
