    Off to Map Quest right now to get directions. I'm all about finding a new nursery for plants. I love peonies, they can last for years. Bobbie next door, has a whole wall of them for me to enjoy. Believe it or not, I don't have any space on the south side of the house, where the sun is best.

    Don't you just hate those spring frost alert. I use plastic garbage bag over my pots. But, it worth the time. Glad to hear you survived.

    Am I just seeing that Fab-u-lous rug on you sidebar. Off to have closer look. Who know what colors will be arriving in my mystery grab bag soon.

    Have a happy day,
    Kate

    We are lucky aren't we and David Austen nearby too - swoon making scent in June!
    Next time you are Colinette bound add in a trip the The Dingle and The Derwen near Welshpool - really good plant centres!
    PS we had snow this morning - sparse but definitely white and cold!
