Confession Time

Hey all! I thought it was time for me to fess up...I have a MAJOR addiction! yes, I said addiction. My drug of choice is flowers! There, I said it. I just can't resist them. I see a sign for a greenhouse I just have to stop and get a fix. Oh my friends it's bad. I don't care if they are annuals or perry ails it makes no difference I just want them all. Now I am a little picky...especially with annuals. I love red. Red geraniums,red inpatients it just says summer to me. I always tell myself that I am not going to do so many annuals, but really, I should know better. I always come home with a carload. I have been to my favorite local greenhouse like 5 times already. I do think I bought my last hanging basket today. Yes, even on a rainy morning you can still find me shopping. I am not going to let a little rain slow me down. Larry and I have made 3 new beds so far and I have pretty much filled them by just dividing a lot of the things I already have. So, that's not to bad is it? I got some awesome succulents today too. That's kinda a new obsession. They remind me of my time in California, where I saw all kinds of cool ones. So, I guess tomorrow my plan is ...you guessed it...more flower shopping and planting. I have a wonderful new RED clematis to put in the ground. Can't wait. I will let you know what i find. Do you have a favorite plant for me to try or any suggestions or recommendations? Also, since I couldn't dig in the dirt today I decided to work in my shop. My sweet daughter-in-law is putting on the finishing touches of the new paint job and I just HAD to start playing in there and putting it back together with some of the great stuff I got earlier in the week. It is looking good folks. The new paint job just made it so much brighter and fresh looking. I am going to have fun playing in there. I still have stuff everywhere but it's getting there. It is definetly a work in progress. If you are in the area I will be open by appointment if you'd like to stop by. I will be posting some pics on my facebook page later. I needed a day like today. Raining and quiet. I have been working like a mad woman the last few days and it was kinda nice to just have a slower paced day. I don't know why I think I have to get everything done all in one day but that's just how I roll. Have a list and want every stinking thing on the list done by the end of the day...even if it just about kicks my butt!!! Well my peeps, i am off to bed now. I have a new list to make tomorrow and a red clematis waiting on me! Sweet dreams, Tina
