the weekend....so far


Saturday morning, I woke up from almost eleven hours of sleep. I went to bed at 9:30pm on Friday night. I love a good night's sleep. We did a little house cleaning and laundry in the morning and then ran a few errands. I had to work Saturday night. We had our first teen rock band showcase at the library. I had my reservations going into this program, but it turned out really well. There were seven bands, and they were actually pretty good. I think that this was probably the coolest program that we've done in the two and a half years that the new Main Library's been open. Everyone had a great time and I'm sure we'll repeat it again next year.
Today, Greg and I met Megan and Michele at Max and Erma's for lunch. (gee that was a lot of names.) We had a nice silly time, the waiter earned his wages today. I'm back at work this afternoon for a bit. We have a dance group in the Auditorium this week. This afternoon, they are laying the dance floor on the stage. This weekend is all about the over time.
This afternoon I ran to the garden center looking for some basil to plant in one of my containers. They only had obscure varieties left, and they looked kind of strangely. I was looking for simple sweet basil. If anyone knows where I can find some, please comment below. So instead I headed over towards the hens and chicks. Martha did a layout on them last year, I think. I remember that when I was a child, my dad had them planted around one of the corners of the house. I've always been fascinated by them. So I picked up three varieties, only two were labeled. One is Sempervivum 'Sunset' and the other is Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'. I think they are pretty cool, I was able to add a few others that our neighbor Marilyn gave me last Summer. Looking forward to the beauty of this very low maintenance plant.

Mike,
Klettlinger’s Greenhouse which is on Martin Road in Mogadore has a nice selection of herbs. I bought my basil at the greenhouse on Rt. 43 1/2 way between Hartville and Suffield on Rt. 43. Take a drive in the country this weekend. Man, it is growing like crazy this summer!
