  • Mom liked her Cally Lillies even though I had them delivered Thursday.

  • Spent the rest of the day reading and doing laundry.
  • Took a 3 hour nap.
  • Only got 1K written on FHF.  Oh well…I’ll catch up.

  • New birdfeeder for the back yard. The hail storm last weekend beat up the old ones pretty bad. They were past their prime anyway.
  • Grocery shopping. My local Shop N Save has been moving everything around since I was in last. We’ve lived here six years and I was just getting the hang of where everything was before!
  • Bought Country Time Lemonade – haven’t had that since I was a kid. Not bad with a splash of orange juice and a shot of tequila.
  • Finally got the banana trees planted.
  • And transplanted some other things that seemed out of place and some that had already bloomed.
  • J’s barbecued chicken again for dinner tonight!

  • Hungry cats ruined my plans to sleep in.
  • After coffee and catching up online, I spent the morning weeding my flower beds. Finally stopped procrastinating and moved my alliums that did not bloom to a new location for next year.  I’ll move the ones that did bloom later.
  • Mediocre lunch at the CC boat house. The staff’s shirts say “Best Kept Secret in St. Louis.”  It should probably stay that way.
  • Finally found pineapple sage again this year! We bought 10 plants!
  • Materials delivered for new herb garden. Our window sill is now empty and the herbs have a home.
  • Barbecue chicken on the grill and margaritas for dinner!
