Flowers and light

Today we went in search of "Mexican Heather" (cuphea) a favorite plant of mine, to put in the gravel by our deck rail.  The first two places didn't have any but of course Bachmans had some.  Their plants are always of the best quality and guaranteed for a year.   In the afternoon Don planted them, they already add a nice color.  I also got a pot of Inpatients to round off the flowers.

While out shopping we got a new light for our entry way.  The old one has a light socket that doesn't work and is ugly anyway.  We got a nice silver and frosted glass one.

It is a beautiful day, we read the newspaper while sitting on the deck and I continued reading my new book (on my Kindle) "Rise of the Rocket Girls" - a true story how women were a major asset in getting the USA into space.

Then, in an effort to actually get something done, I scrubbed out the shower.  Long overdue.  We had waffles for dinner at home.
