Good Morning!

It is a lovely day here in the Champlain Valley!

 Last night I put three red geraniums in one of the hanging baskets and then I took the other plants I had bought  and stood them overnight in the whiskey-barrel planter where Melanie had herbs last year. {The only one that has survived the Vermont winter is the chive plant. } When I went out this morning, I really liked the look of the five geraniums in the barrel  so I planted them there this morning! I didn’t pull up the chives because I am impressed that they survived,  and actually, they look quite ornamental with the red and white geraniums.Today I need to get a LOT of impatiens {I have four balcony boxes} and more geraniums for the other hanging pot. I will go out to the local nursery first since they told me they would have impatiens today, but if they don’t, I am off to the big nursery just up the road from where I got my new car in South Burlington. As soon as everything is planted and has settled, I will have pictures.

I got a couple of books and a CD from Amazon yesterday as a late birthday/Mother’s Day gift from my daughter-in-law and older son in Mississippi. She got them from my Amazon wish list. The books are Italian–a useful phrases book and a book of stories with Italian on one page and English on the other. The CD is Sting. I was going to put it on my IPod last night but forgot. Oh, well! Neither the CD nor my IPod are going anywhere.

Now I am going to take my coffee and book out to the deck and finish my breakfast in the sunshine. Then, I will get dressed, and off to the plant nursery…

I hope everyone has a good day.
