Happy Memorial Weekend!

Hope everyone is having a good time and enjoying some rest and relaxation. My rest is starting now! I hope so, anyway. Still have to make the frosting for the German chocolate cake and BBQ the tri-tip but other than that not much else to do.

I planted a beautiful rhododendren today...an Anah Kruschke. Lovely purple flowers. And I finally put some dahlia bulbs in...hope it's not too late for planting those. We'll see. DH is still out there doing something mysterious to the irrigation system. One of those "guy things" that always involves 3 trips to the hardware store! But it will most likely be an improvement so good for him!

Hugs to all and watch out for that PP! He's on the move again!

HI Cappy sounds like you are having a very nice weekend. My dh loves those kinds of projects where he needs to go to the hardware store at least three time, especially since he retired. As you say though they are usually pretty good and alway an improvement.

Take it easy girl we will be having a grand time soon.

Love ya

Mary

Save me a piece of cake! Sounds yummy! I had to go with my dh to do those 'guy' things because we were looking at and getting some brick to put around a flower bed...Two stores later we were back at the orginal store...it makes me CRAZY! Of course had to make another trip to get more...I begged off...ds and his dgf were coming for supper so had my own things to do!

Have a great Day!

Hugs

RJ

I love the purple rhodies, Cappy. I have one, although I don't know whether it's the same as yours...I'm not very good at remembering their names...and would like to get more. They are certainly a dramatic plant, aren't they?

LOLOL..."guy thing"....lots of that around here!! Dru got his closet organizer in and finished up the electrical stuff...this room of his is NICE, I think I want it...hee-hee! Hope the tri-tip was yummy, I'm sure it was. I use tri-tip when we have steak fondue, it's nice and tender. Hugs, Gabby

Yes they are beautiful plants Kat. I put in 2 small ones last year but they didn't make it thru the winter. So I got a much bigger plant this time. I bought this one cause she has a lovely name...Anah. (Even tho Mindy insists the real Anah is buried in Milwaukee!) So when I talk to her I can use her name! Hugs
