Gardening Time 2024

                                    So, it's Monday. I hope y'all had a great weekend. It was warm and sunny yesterday, here in central KY. Saturday, I went out with the hopes of stopping at Menard's for a perennial plant or two for my flowerbed. I walked out with $55 worth. Oops. But, I got some pretty plants, and hopefully, I'll have some luck with them.         I have not always been a gardening fanatic. Ha!
