Mother's day w/e...

I finally made it to the native plant sale in Lake County... a great one!! --will certainly go back each year as needed...
bought 17 plants:
some ferns for the north side of the garage where the patriot hosta does not do so well...will more them to the fence-line replacing the wood pile there now... (loads of work there--ugh)
some monkey flower?
some baptisia--ceam, white and blue/purple
some black-eyed susans (& sweet)
some brown eyed susans
more prairie dropseed grass (planted it around the red oak in the parkway--painful diggin up the old grass)
and maybe a few more...
lots to put into the ground now -- oh boy

other:
finished the side walk edging...1st time in 7- years when the put in the new sidewalk...what a major pain!
dug out/edged the front beds this w/e and laid down all the pine mulch (12 bags)
