The Weekend

sraunSaturday we went to the Landscape Arboretum plant sale with Irene's parents. We got a small variety of plants - some more blue fescu (anyone know where we can get small (~2") square pots of blue fescu?), some phlox, some celosia (or was it salvia?), and two daylilies.
We got Daylily "Bela Lugosi" -
and Hemerocallis "Prairie Blue Eyes" -
Pretty!
We had lunch at the cafeteria in the new visitor's center (if you have their sirloin burger, be certain to tell them how done you want it!), then came home. Irene's parents went on their way, and we went shopping. First was window-shopping at Bachman's - found a variegated wiegela and a bridal wreath spirea we could afford, and blue fescu that we didn't want to afford. Then grocery shopping - got a little over a week's worth of edibles.
Sunday I did laundry and caught up on computer stuff, and Irene went to the Ladies Sewing Circle. I made poached salmon for dinner - 15 minutes in the oven at 450 degrees, in a bath of 50/50 white wine and water, with 1 tsp dill and 1/2 tsp thyme. Was very good, and very easy!
Irene went to bed early - she wasn't feeling terribly well - and I stayed up to finish chores. Theory has it that the weekend's plants get put in the ground today.
