Today was designated to be our flower-planting day. We had some purple petunias bordered with a tiny white strip, some fuschia-coloured wave petunias, some fuschia and white impatience and some tall orange marigolds to get planted. I also planted a deep pink azalea bush, two new red rose bushes which we had received as gifts upon the passing of Tom's mother, and a red peony which I had bought as a remembrance of my mother and my childhood home in Springvale. We were thankful that Ali and Aaron were both able to come to help. Tom is not feeling well these days, as he's had some new health issues emerge, so rather than do the planting, he directed the operation. The place looks beautiful. Having had so much rain and cool weather this spring, the lawn is verdant and the perennials are growing nicely. The soil is soft and easy to work in, and the sweet, delicate fragrance of the white phlox which Alicia gave me a few years ago, permeates the garden. What a wonderful day, planting in the garden!
