Finally got around to taking the TV in for repair. And since the repair shop was near Gage Park, we invited Al and Liz to meet us there afterwards. Mardi brought date squares, Al bought the coffee. We had a nice visit, but due to the blustery day it was a parking lot event.
Rumour is that Al is making raisin scones for our next get-together, although Mardi thinks that blueberry muffins would be an acceptable substitute. I'll provide the coffee😀.

Up until last fall, this garden was full of day lilies. Originally, there were several vibrant colours, but over time they all ended up brown. As well, the field grasses invaded the garden and were impossible to eradicate. Plus they grew higher than the lilies which made for an ugly scene.
So I dug everything up and replaced them with some tulip bulbs that weren't sold at the end of the season.
Too short and too many yellow, but when you're dealing with leftovers you have to take what you get.
The tangle of growth around the post on the right that hasn't opened up yet is Virginia Creeper. It picked this spot itself - I don't know where it came from, although I've seen other specimens on the back half of the property. I really like Virginia Creeper, especially in the fall when it changes colour, so I'm keeping it.
I can imagine Al making some smartass comment about the name of this plant - stay tuned.

As I write this, the Blue Jays are winning 12-2 against the Atlanta Braves. Five Jays home runs so far. Exciting baseball.

That's it for tonight. Stay positive. Stay well.
