I have been working in the yard all afternoon. We got a
perfect day with no wind and I went to the garden store
and splurged. I got 2 large pots of gerbera daisies and
three pots of new guinea impatiens. I also picked up plant
hangers for the back porch and another hanging impatien.

Ted has difficulty understanding or believing that you
have to plant different plants for the south facing front
yard and the north facing back yard. I got by with covering
our plants when we had the cold snap. I still have to
work on the backyard a lot.

Today is my daughter's birthday. We had a nice surprise.
Out of the 200 interning teacher's at her university, Sara

Scroll down I goofed.



was voted to be the best and most outstanding. However,
she failed to realize that she had to have a teaching
certificate and didn't take the test because it cost 200
dollars. Sara is generous to a fault. She got the honor
because she had spent so much time giving free lessons to
the kids who were interested. She had to learn to be
proficient in every band instrument to get her degree.
She loves the flute the best.

I had the little girls who are not so little for dinner
because their mother had to conduct a workshop. Bobby
had called me griping about Ellie's lack of cooking but
I encouraged him to appreciate her efforts in other areas.
It reminds me of the old Pennsylvania Dutch saying, "Kissing
don't last, cooking do"
