Had lunch at Johnny Carino's... I had half of a Panini, Chicken Parmesan with the all you can eat Salad, Ice Tea of course with a slice of Lemon ... Dang those things are yummy! Panini's that is... Easy to make at home also...Before coming home we stopped at Rocken Rudy's... IMAGINE THAT!... I purchased a duck that turns color in water, haven't checked it out as of yet... I also purchased two CD's... Van Morrison's new one 'Astral Weeks Live At The Hollywood Bowl'... I can't believe this was recorded live, except for a little cheering between tunes it sounds like it was done in a studio... Robert Earl Keen 'What I really mean'... I just love the title tune, and the reason I purchased the CD...
I have been transplanting many plants the last two weeks... Sad to say only one 'Grand Cru' Asiatic Lily will bloom this year... I didn't mark them, was digging and broke off the bud underground of two of them, so I dug them up and transplanted them, left the one that was unhurt... when it emerges I will transplant it...I will have to wait for next year for the others to bloom, I need to stop being so careless... Will that ever happen? Don't know!
The Lady Slipper I dug out of the woods two years is coming up for the second year now... I now will dig up one more the end of May to middle of June and plant it in the same spot... A few friends and I are going to go up Rock Creek after work next week and dig up some wild Clematis, I was boggled to see that one of the nurseries is selling it for 49 dollars, I can't believe that anyone would pay for it when there are tons for the taking, heck, I can't believe that some in Missoula never take the time to leave the city... How sad is that?
All three Delphinium's 'Astolat'/'Black knight' and 'Chocolate' are coming up... As are all the Daylilies...'Stella d' Oro'/'Ditch Lily'/'Hush little Baby'/'On and On' and 'Elegant Candy'... I was transplanting the 'Ditch Lily' when Eric was here, so gave him half and replanted the other half away from the rest of the garden on the other side of the fence... It's beautiful, but I don't want it to invade my garden, most of us know it's like a weed...but beautiful so I don't want to get rid of it entirely
Two of my Hyacinth's 'Jan Bro' are in bloom, the other five should be in bloom soon... She didn't give me any blooms last year, unsure of why that happened... Still don't know the name of the Hyacinth's I thought was 'Jan Bro' last year, so if anyone out there finds out before me, please let me know...
Two new beds I am working on... Do I do all this digging by myself? Why, NO! I get some much needed help from Mr. Offenbacher... I do believe that he is starting to love Stella as much as I do...
Columbines are all coming up, it appears that I have about a half a dozen more than last season... Wonder what they will look like?
After four years my 'Garlic' Chives are coming up and doing well, I might even get them to bloom this season... I am so excited, never did think that they would do much of anything...Sowing seeds for this plant takes so long, it doesn't help that I pulled so much of it out thinking that it was grass, shaking my head at myself... I could go on and on with what is coming up, but better stop or I will be here all day, besides it's all in my Journal...
The promise of what Stella will bring makes me delirious...
Enjoy the day, it's raining here yet I will spend most of the day outside playing with Stella... Found my rain gear, I do look funny in it, but I am pretty sure Stella don 't care, and I know I don't... Have a wonderful day, or not... it's your choice... do remember to hug those you love... That's of course unless you love no one... couldn't help myself...
Until next time

It's so nice to be outside again! I'm guilty of pulling the chives too. My girls have about dozen little ducks that change colour in warm/cold water, they love them at bathtime!
Love reading about your garden. I am getting such a freaking slow start this year I can't stand it. It either rains and the wind is SO strong and cold that I can't stand to be outside. Tomorrow is suppose to be nice though and I am going to get a yard of soil. I still have lots of cleaning up to do too.
