the weather the past weekend was perfect. the first summerlike temperatures of the season. it was fabulous, and i was in pain the whole time. i am not a winter person at all and i've been wounded all winter so this was like a ray of warm and hope. the first thing off were my shoes. my feet like to be naked. i put on something light and airy and found a spot in the sun and sucked up as much warmth as i could get.
i started by buying flowers at the nursery. i didn't need to go crazy and was picky about what to spend my money on. sometimes we wind up buying flowers without a game plan and then our vision doesn't come out the way we invisioned it. i knew which pots i wanted to plant in, which plants didn't make the winter, and i desperatedly wanted color on the patio. i bought a large martha washington geranium in wonderful plum colors, as well as a traditional bright orange one, bright red ranoculous, a peach hibiscus, pink carnations and a bunch of golden marigolds in different sizes to fill a large container. it looks wonderful. i'm currently on the hunt for double impatiens and that'll probably do it for awhile. i love just standing at the screeen door and looking at the new additions. and to make to it better, my husband was home all weekend helping me, picking up heavy stuff is not something i can do right now, and trimming the 20' english laurels that surround the yard. we ran errands together, did house stuff and it was the best time i've had in a long time.
it seems that all the planets lined up perfectly this weekend. god always seems to know when i'm hanging on by a thread.
