Thank you very much O’ creator for bringing back my gardening mojo (sorry Barbara I stole that one from you). I didn’t actually garden today, I went to a book sale and then my hometown’s Super Sunday main street sale. When we arrived at mom’s she ushered me outside to present me with a ‘journey’ diamond necklace-you know the swirly ones you see in the tv ads? She said that it was a special Macy’s had. It’s really pretty and she got one for herself too. Wow!

The book sale had been on since Saturday and things were picked over. I spent too much ($2 for one hardback-how dare them!), but found fairly new books for crafting and some older musty books for cutting up for my paper crafts. My creative writing teacher from high school was there as a volunteer again this year. I didn’t speak to him as he seemed more interested in tidying up the books and I didn’t want to make him or myself feel old by bringing up the fact that my 30th high school anniversary is this year. Eek gads!

The main street sale was a bust. Mom got some applications to adopt a few kitties she saw up in town at booths for animal rescue. She was just going by seeing them in a cage and cat carrier. She wants a pet so badly, poor thing. The kitties were so pretty-the boy Leopold was white and Kyra the girl was almost white with a little calico thrown in.

We ate at a good Chinese restaurant this time. Sean was along (opps-forgot to mention him) and he drove us around. Nice when they get to that age.

I will be doing a little digging tomorrow. My irises have spread like wild fire! I am thrilled. I think of digging them up in the fall and adding them to other parts of the yard, sharing with my mom and maybe selling them myself. : )

Have a fine week-maybe I’ll finally get to Longwood Gardens to see the orchid display.
