Misty, Foggy Saturday

Evie and Sandy in her Garden

Much cooler, about 59 this morning, as Evie's making our breakfast, my request, of sour cream pancakes.  I have a hankering for good maple syrup on pancakes, so that's what we are having.  Pea Meal bacon from the Lighthouse will complete a good start to a rainy day.  We have a number of things going on today, a gathering at the Artist's Loft in Mayville for members of the Chautauqua Lake Conservancy, a group we belong to and have hiked with.  It's from 2:00 to 5:00.  Then, at 5:00, we have our first Woodlawn picnic at the right of way since our yard's a mess.  It's fun to see the neighbors and Evie's going to educate them about the cutting of weeds, a weekly pick up service, things like that.  Unfortunately, our new found bar/restaurant, Pine Junction, has music starting at 2:00 for the rest of the day but we will have to skip to attend the other two events.

Sandy's Garden and House

We have been to Sandy's Perennials twice in the past week, and she's as energetic and cheerful as ever, an amazing women.  We picked up some perennials as well as some privets, as some of ours have died in the front yard.  She sells them to us for five dollars a piece, a bargain.  We also got some phlox and a flower we cannot remember it's name, as usual.

Digging Up Perennials

I have also been gathering interesting (to me) rocks from the stream, to make borders around our driveway, perhaps some of our garden beds.  It's fun walking the creek, looking for interesting shapes and colors; I just wish I had a grandchild to hunt with me.  Time for pancakes...yum.
