Over the weekend we had two warmer-than-normal days. Gusty winds were at play so relaxing and reading the paper at the big stone table in the garden were not really an option. (Thank you, March!)
Still it was nice to be outside without a coat.
Managed to trim the lavender, sage & the multi-stemmed sargent crab and spread a few more of my 135 bags of mini-pine nuggets mulch. As I look around I wonder if 135 will be enough. We’ve created and expanded lots of beds in the last several years!
Headed over to Ohio State to obtain replacements for a couple small trees purchased in November that became fodder for rabbits and/or deer (who knows?). I expected some damage but the sassafras totally disappeared!
Hurrrumph!
Curse you Bambi & Thumper!
Thank you to Dan Struve and Meghan Blake for making this possible!

So, who is Donald Bower?

George
He was my uncle.
He was an architect, publicist for 20th Century Fox movie studios, water colorist, missionary and the first librarian of the University of South Florida.
He died of a heart attack brought on by a congenital heart defect when he was 55. He wasn’t expected to live past his teenage years.
He was an amazing guy.
Thanks for asking, Valerie.
