Catching up: This morning...

Went to both World Market and Joanne Fabrics, trying to find something for my new entryway table. Everything that was dramatic enough was WAY too expensive. Finally settled (and I do mean "settled") on a glass vase with white/yellow flowers in that acrylic (or whatever) that looks like water. I'll keep my eyes open for something I REALLY want.

I also picked up a Spring wreath, made up of imitation forsythia branches, on sale. This completes the wreaths. I had one for Fall, one for Winter, then the old lighted Christmas wreath, and finally one for Christmas to Spring. Now I have Spring! Don't need a Summer, as the hanging plants make it look too crowded.

Then I went to Randazzo's. I had called and they said they still had some Sand Cherries. Picked out a nice one, about 3 1/2-4 foot tall. Also bought a Dogwood. It was finished blooming, so I don't know what color it is (do they come in colors?) That was at least 6 feet tall, and called for a lot of creative thinking to get it in the car. But I got them both home without breaking any branches!

Wheeled them out back, and after much deliberation, decided what went where and planted them both.

Now all I need is a flowering plum or crab apple and this year's rear garden planting is complete.
