Planted some ferns, alpine wallflowers, pulmonarias, gaillardias creeping jenny, and trailing coleus. Still have the 1 gallon pots of Iceland poppies, phlox, iris, coral bells, salvia and snaps. I also have a mess of pansies to put around trees for Mom. I finished the replanting after dividing of my hardy water lilies and water lotus. The lilies are back in the pond; the lotus has to reroot first.Am waiting with barely concealed anticipation for May 1 so I can move out my bananas, palms, elephant ears, philodendrons, cannas and caladiums.

Then come the patio plants- tropical hibiscus, mandevilleas, bougainvilleas, gingers, plumerias, other palms, angel trumpets, seemanias, Desert Roses, cacti, etc. I'll get my living room, family room, one bedroom, and basement back!!

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
John F. Kennedy, September, 1960
