capitol hill house and garden tour

capitol hill restoration society's mother day house and garden tour is a great way to spend some time with the family...or not! after the tour, i will be buying fresh flowers and some potted herbs at the outdoor eastern market, and raviolis and cheese from the indoor food court...maybe a hand pie too.

weekend gardening events

news flash: this weekends' gardening events involve you raking leaves...lots and lots of leaves. so forget the house and garden tours...rallies to restore hope and/or insanity...and any homecoming activities that you might know about: grab your rake and get yourself outside to get it done...you will burn lots of calories! this year i am without my beloved oak, so my chores are so much less than in the last thirty years (thankfully!), so i will be attending the rally: hope to see you there!
