Hello Dear!
What a blustery day we had here yesterday! I felt like a tumbleweed trying to get across our front lawn to the mailbox. There were huge gusts coming in from all directions... it felt as though I was in a comedy routine. Several small pots I was hoping to use to start a little cactus garden circle around the front porch steps were smashed to bits. So much for that idea!
Speaking of gardening, I have been reading up on what would be the best types of ground covers for an area that has been an eyesore since winter when we had a lot of moles digging holes in the side yard. Dang those critters. I was thinking about green apple, which goes wild around here without any care whatsoever, but it isn't all that attractive. I wanted something lighter in color overall and not so waxy looking. Do you have any suggestions? I found some great gardening websites with good photos but, of course, everything always looks better in pictures. I want to see what will be on sale later next month when I have a little bit more money in the garden budget.
I went to visit one of my old friends early last evening. I hadn't seen her for nearly a year and it was great to catch up with all that we've been doing since then. Her health has been good, which really is a blessing considering all that she's been through. You might remember that she is the one who has lupus. Her house and garden looked terrific, by the way! They have a regular gardener but her partner does most of the work and designing. I always admire her taste. I had only planned to stay for an hour and we ended up talking for nearly two-and-a-half hours!
Well, I look forward to hearing what you've been up to. Please write when you have a chance and tell me what is going on in your world! Until then, my very best to you!
Love,
