Today was finally planting day! We had thought about making our annual trip up to Andersonville three weeks ago but I was out of town. We were then going to go during Memorial weekend but circumstances combined to make that impractical. So, while slightly belated compared to years past, on June 1, we have our flowers.
Even though we knew that it would likely be fairly busy at the flower place, we decided to stick without our usual morning workouts and then go, rather than go first thing in the morning like we did last year. As we learned then, it doesn't change how busy the place is and then we don't get our ice cream cone because 10:00 am is just too early for ice cream.
This is our fourth year (surprisingly to me) and we have finally got it figured out. It took us longer to get there -- and get a space in the parking lot -- than it took us to select our flowers and checkout. Two and a half flats of impatiens plus half a flat of assorted other stuff plus one large bag of potting soil equals a fully planted balcony. And, that is the only arithmetic I need to do today.
And, while it took two tries, we got our delicious McDonald's vanilla cones this year. The girl working the drive through was markedly less enthusiastic than we were about them but I'm sure that's because she wasn't getting to enjoy the tasty goodness.
