Franklin May Garden Mart

Ambi-dexterous when it comes to painting.

A spectacular weekend in Oil City, thank you Mother Nature for only raining Friday evening. Last week we were only able to be in town on Friday, but we got mulching and weeding done. This weekend, we hit the exterior painting pretty hard, and it's 2/3 complete.

Check out that blue sky. This is Sunday morning. I am worshipping at the Church of Get It Done.

I am thrilled to report the tree in the front yard is actually a lilac - a personal favorite. 

 We took time off from painting to hit Franklin's May Garden Mart, aka, Crack-for-Gardeners.

 There's something about plant events that make my eyes glaze over in a fantasy of what my garden will look like.

I wanted all of them, but held off since I've killed my fair share of beauties by trusting a warm, sunny day, only to have Mother Nature betray me with a frost.

Coolest planter: the moss 'handbag' filled with violas and greenery.

I came away with a fantastic garden ornament - a colorful glass butterfly on a stake, with copper leaves and ornaments. Love it.

This is on my radar for next year.
