Another weekend has flown by and I’m still wondering how it happened. I won’t complain though because it was a really nice weekend and I even went back the Wildflower Center. Our poor backyard needs a lot of help and luckily the Wildflower Center was having their annual plant sale. Oh and get this, we even became members!
We bought Frog Fruit, Lantana, Twistleaf Yucca and a couple of others I’m forgetting. So excited to add these to our garden. We didn’t get a chance to walk the trails like we hoped as we spent a bit more time on the plant selecting (and there were quite a lot of visitors) but now that we are members we can go back another time and enjoy the beautiful wildflowers in bloom.
On book front news I finished listening to the audio of Fatal Error by J.A. Jance. It was actually perfect timing too as I only had a couple of more minutes on the treadmill. So get this guys, I actually got used to the audiobook and even went to the library to look for another!
Oh yes, I broke my library ban. It seems that even though I wasn’t checking out books from the library I also haven’t really made a dent in my books. Who knows what is going on with my reading lately. Just very slow going I guess. And, oh yes, I also borrowed some books but I’ll tell you about those in another post because now I have to hurry up and finish Arctic Chill for book group this week.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
If you have nothing to complain about then it was a good weekend. Time flies when you are having fun. 🙂
Planting flowers always lifts my spirits, but I really suck at taking care of them. I have a black thumb. And yay for audios! I just finished one (We are Water) that just blew me away. If I’d have read it, it might have been a four star book, but the audio made it a five. Some of the best narration I’d heard in a long time. Good audios are just a delight. These days if it weren’t for audios, I’d read nothing. I am a total slug when it comes to print.
Some day, I hope to visit the Wildflower Center. I just received my milkweed and Queen Ann’s Lace seeds and can’t wait to get them in the ground!
What a lovely weekend you had! The frog fruit looks similar to a prairie plant I have in my garden, hoary vervain, and then I saw on your plant description that it is a verbena and so is mine so that explains the similarity. I hope all your new plants thrive!
Sounds like a nice weekend, it always goes by too fast! The Wildflower Center sounds like a nice place to find new beauties for your garden.
Despite my efforts, I remain a terrible gardener. I wish I could afford someone to at least come in and do some beautiful landscaping that will look good if I let it go wild now and then . . . Okay, maybe most of the time.
I have Fatal Error on my Nook to read. I hope you enjoyed it!
