What a really nice day it was today. Warm, in the low 70's. This is basil... which, as you see, has been planted and is doing FINE.

We went to Wal Mart this morning after breakfast to pick up a few things. We stopped in the seasonal department. I was really disappointed in what they had (or should I say, didn't have). The plants that had been hit by the frost were not replaced and they really had nothing. So I bought nothing. Will check out Lowes and Home Depot at the Viewmont Mall sometime.. but at this point we are on hold. I do have several geraniums and also some marigolds but that's it. So I need more flowers... and will wait until I find something that not only I like but is not too overpriced. We have the pots out an I did get a bag of potting soil so we are ready...
Most of the trees are showing their leaves and the forsythia is in bloom as are some flowering trees. This is spring in all it's glory. I have found that my allergies are much better here than in South Jersey... maybe less pine trees helps. We still have pollen but the little May bugs are lessening and now the big thing is wasps and bumblebees. I guess it's always something!
