Herb and Flower Festival ... check.

The twelfth (?) annual Herb and Flower Festival was a smashing success. The bad weather we were told to expect held off until 2:00 (festival ended at 3:00 anyway) and even then was just a quick shower.

Anne and I had our free times at the beginning this year, instead of at the end, so we had a greater selection (flip side: no one was frantic to sell off plants rather than pack them back up, so we had to pay full price.) We bought three trees and about a dozen various perennials, including a couple new lilies, some extremely cool wrought metal stuff including a planter shaped like a turkey, and miscellaneous herbal creams and the like.

Our centerpiece was a hit, our cookies declared some of the best. All in all, it was a wonderful day, as always.

Now, too tired to do any actual work, we can start figuring out where to plant our new stuff, shift some of the other stuff around...gardening dreams. *happy sigh*
