Last weekend, we planted the new plants along the fence in the back yard. Several plants had died and I just didn't know what to plant. It turned out to be really simple. We removed two very large Fortnight Lilies then replaced and repositioned three smaller ones. At each end, there are now three lavender plants. Balance. I was looking for a pleasing balance as they grow. Next Spring, there will be annuals planted along the entire front of the bed for color.
We are up early this morning and getting ready for the 10:45 funeral of Betty's mom about an hour away. We also have to pick up mom before we head south. Chip and Betty will be waiting for us and we will be there to support Betty. Lee and Jeff will also be there. It has be awhile since the three of us kids have been together. Betty has arranged a luncheon following the funeral so we will have some time to chat. It is going to be hot, it will be a graveside service so I am bringing my oxygen. Thankfully, Betty has announced that it is not a formal funeral, no suits or fancy clothing. I am wearing a simple blouse and slacks.
It will be nice to see everyone together, even if it is not the best of circumstances.
