last weekend was full of many things. my family went up north, to where my grandmother is buried, to put a big pot of bright bright pink geraniums on her grave. we think they’d have made her laugh. the woman at the garden store was asking us what color she used to like to wear (brown) and what color she decorated with (brown) and what her favorite color was (brown). so then we all laughed and got the bright pink ones. it had snowed up north on friday, but it had mostly melted in town by saturday.
on saturday night, we all went to the new italian restaurant in town. it was not great, but okay, and since it was mother’s day dinner for my mom, the important thing was that she liked it. (anyone know what the drink that has southern comfort and orange juice in it is called? the internet gives me too many responses on this one.)
later in the evening, we went back to the hotel and played bananagrams, which is like boggle crossed with scrabble. i did not win, but i think i may have managed to teach some new words to the kids hanging out in the lobby. ahem.
back in the cities, some friends went to the friends plant sale for me, and i now have purple daylilies and astilbe and… hm. something else, waiting for me over at their house when i get off work tonight. sadly, it’s raining for approximately the seven hundredth day in a row here, so i am not going to get to plant them for a little while yet. this plants thing is kind of interesting. (anyone want some vinca? if you come dig it out from where it’s killing my lily of the valley, it’s all yours.)
