365/190 Another Day, Another Farm Stand
Today I continued my gardening streak, putting in a raspberry and some mint and lots and lots of annuals. Yesterday I did so much digging that my back is sore, so I scaled it back a bit though. I got the annuals from Borella's, an absolutely gigantic farmstand down on Edgewood Avenue in St James. I've never seen so many impatiens, marigolds and geraniums in one place in my life. The place is a veritable sea of blossom. I bought and planted 18 impatiens and 6 geraniums. They do jolly up the front garden. I also stopped by Anne Marie's farm stand and was charmed by the little pony they keep there. He was hoping I had a carrot, but as he was standing right behind a sign reading "Do Not Feed The Horse" he was out of luck. And I paid a visit to the exhibitionist swans, and got a good look at the eggs since Mummy Swan was letting them air while she did a bit of important preening. I counted at least 8 and possibly 9, so we may be in for a bumper crop of cygnets this year! I swung by one more farmstand, Detmer, so I could get a pie and a made a quick trip to the library to pick up my reserved copy of the new Charlaine Harris and all in all, it's been a really good day. I'm tired, but it's a happy tired and I'm looking forward to my bubblebath and feeling like I deserve it.
