Pretty enough to eat

9/10/07 Birthday Cake by Jaz RankinJaz sent me a photo of her latest creation: a 2-layer strawberry cake with vanilla frosting in the middle and a layer of strawberry preserve. She called it her “First Semi-Professional Birthday Cake!” I call it a beautiful, professional job! Pass me a fork!

Replacing irises and another salvia purchase

My replacement irises arrived yesterday, and I was happy to receive two Zzzanzibars from Brad and Kathie. With Dash wreaking destruction on the iris bed, the replacements arrived just as I assessed the damage. It appears one of the Blueberry Fillies got partially chewed, and an Alpha Gnu got dislodged. I replanted everything and put the Zzzanzibars in their new homes.

Also yesterday, I put in an order for 2 Salvia chamaedryoides from Lazy S’S Farm online store. I can’t wait to get these in my yard.
