The sun came out today!

After what seems like nonstop weeks of rain, today was gorgeous. Perfect day for the Northwest - right around 70.

Went down to F&B Farms & Nursery where my granddaughter filled a large flat wagon with quite a variety of plants for me to take home. Of course, I put a couple of things on the wagon too -- some thyme and Italian parsley as well as some gazanias for my terra cotta chicken planter. Leigh was a doll and planted everything all the containers up for me so I just need to plant the gazanias and the herbs into the containers that I didn't have with me.

I hope to get some pictures of the variety of planters tomorrow although the rain is supposed to be back late tonight. No complaints on this end as I enjoyed today.

Alex had planted up a black and red color bowl for her Auntie Linda because she knows that she likes the colors black and red. Was really sweet of her.

Par had BBQ'd a whole chicken and some asparagus in the Weber today and it was delicious. He really has a way with the BBQing and has even begun experimenting with herbs and spices. It was nice to come home to a meal already prepared.

I am thankful that it will rain tonight on my newly planted containers and maybe the weatherman will be wrong and it will be a sunny afternoon again tomorrow.
