“Because sometimes doing nothing leads to the best something” – from Christopher Robin movie

There is so much going on at once right now in the garden.  The last cream daylily bloomed today.

“Twins” are abounding.  (More about that and pics in days to come).  I saw a very young (probably a baby) cardinal in our Linden tonight.  Both white squirrels showed up this morning.  (I only could catch one in the pic below, through the foggy window this morning.)

The last bloom of the two ‘Just Plum Happy’ daylilies in one area bloomed today.  (Still more blooming in another area.)  The ‘Patriot’ hostas have finished blooming.  Some of the daylilies have started to set seed.  (More about that in an upcoming blog, or two.)  The Weigelia is reblooming.

But the best part of today was that it was my Mom’s birthday.  I took the day off work and we spent the day together – coffee and pastry at Caribou, shopping, a movie, more shopping, and dinner.  The movie we saw was Christopher Robin.  We both absolutely loved it.  It brought back so many memories.  And the line we both loved most was “Because sometimes doing nothing leads to the best something.”  That’s how a good garden day feels.  Just enjoying “being” in the garden, and then you see this, and that, and putter around, and before you know it you are quite content.
