Last day of vacation...

[mousme]

The parental units are coming to dinner, so I have a fair bit of prep to do before they get here. The maternal unit is coming early, claiming her ancestral right to muck about in my garden, which will be nice. The daffodils are in bloom, replacing the crocus that poked out of the ground last week. Daffodils are her favourite flowers, so she should enjoy that.

I am thinking of planting a lilac tree in the front yard. Lilacs are my favourite flowers, and I've always liked having lilacs around my home. My last place in Verdun had a big lilac tree in front. I have no idea where I could get a lilac to plant, but I guess I'll try Atwater market and see if they have any there.

I need to fold and put away my laundry and tidy the kitchen, and then run out to do some errands. Hopefully somewhere in there I'll actually be able to get out into the garden and muck about a bit myself.

I imagine a nursery would be the place to get a lilac tree for planting. Just make sure it isn't close enough to the house to damage the foundation. I guess it shouldn't be close to the water and sewer lines either.

Can I borrow your maternal unit? I was too tired and nauseous last fall to dig anything out and now I'm too busy to plant anything.

I love my lilac tree.

There are lots of lilac trees out here - with lots of little shoots that just need to be dug up and replanted! White, deep purple and medium purple.

I love daffodils.
