Down a country road…or two

Standard

I ventured out to the bank and post office and decided to go to my favorite nursery and do some more flower shopping. I went straight on a road that I thought would lead me to the correct road down in Delaware. Boy was I wrong! I couldn’t believe I was in like 3-5 miles of my house as I couldn’t get my bearing and saw nothing familiar. When I finally found a road that said ‘Old Kennett Pike’ I turned and then the sign said ‘to PA’. Geez, that was a 30 minute ride I won’t forget! I did go to the nursery down the regular back roads I know. I was happy I went as I bought a profusion of color in the form of petunias, dianthus, snapdragons, impatiens and a few more. So I’m all ready to start planting. The place didn’t have my red mulch, so I have to go back for that.

By the way, when I got home I looked at Google maps and some of the roads I saw I actually could get to the nursery-I think I went the wrong way on Old Kennett Pike. I do appreciate where I live even more-the landscape is gorgeous.

Finally, some snapshots:

Transplanted bleeding heart
I transplanted a bleeding heart plant that was hidden between bushes last year. What a treat to see the plant (separated into three new ones) blooming so lovely.

My 1st iris of the year
My first dear iris of the year called ‘Stitch Witch’ (don’t say ‘so appropriate’-lol). I can’t wait to see all the different colors blend together.

  1. Your plants are way ahead of ours…my bleeding heart and irises have just started coming out of the ground! Such beautiful flowers!! I’m glad you were able to find your way back after getting turned around…I’ve done that before and it’s a bit scary when you don’t see anything that is familiar to you!! xoxo
