Weekend Frenzy
























Insanely busy weekend.  We started the weekend with Tim's parent's annual Garden Conservancy Tour and Fern Sale - we call it the FERN FRENZY!   Tim's parents and assistants work incredibly hard to prepare for the sale and get the house and garden looking it's best.  The gardens looked gorgeous. Although hot, it was a perfect day for the sale and there was tons of traffic.  We love to help out and it gives us a chance to always learn more about ferns.  There was a lot on sale.  Tim's mother's signs were especially cute with the descriptives.

We worked the early part of the day and then drove upstate.  Unfortunately, a bear had destroyed our outdoor grill.  We are very fortunate that something didn't happen since the gas tanks were still attached.  We unloaded plants and lumber from the truck and spent hours mowing grass and planting new herbs, annuals and plants from Tim's parents.  Lots of new plants blooming.  We are very proud of our new Irises that we planted last year - Beverly Sills Irises.  They are a beautiful pale peach color.   So much to do in the yard.  We started out countdown to our second annual July 4th family extravaganza.  Can't wait!
