Planting

Last week I put in some lettuce starters: some in a pot, two by the back of the house. The same day I bought an entire flat of alyssum. Because it was there. A flat is enough to do: under the azaleas, along the edge by the front yard camellia, under the storks, and still have a couple for the front walk and a pot. Put some columbine that Mom gave me in the boxwood gap, by the fence where P. parks. The one I bought last year, that's by the storks, is ready to bloom. I've got marigolds to stick somewhere,  too.

Dogwood in full bloom, smaller azaleas about to pop, bulbs finishing, viburnum starting.

Saw a goldfinch.
