Oh, the games people play

has run across my mind this morning; as usual, spontaneous and no special reason. Still, "Games People Play" was a good song by Joe South. If you don't know about its "inspiration, see the article on the book, "Games People Play" about the book and Eric Berne.

The last few days in south-central Kentucky have been very good. No rain, which we haven't needed, and good for finally getting the rototilling, landscaping and planting done. We reshaped a lot of dirt along the south side of the house, planted it with groundcover plants (primarily daylillies) and started working on the circular area enclosed by our turn-around driveway in the front. It all remains a work-in-progress, but it will get there. We also planted two azaleas in the front of the house where the stump of the nearly-dead Juniper was pulled. Today, we have some more Lily of the Valley to plant on the north, shady side of the house. We want as much area as possible covered in very low-maintenance plants.

I'm very much looking forward to my Palm Sunday long weekend trip to northern Georgia to visit Bill Martin, one of my 50-plus year friends through Scouting.

Well, enough for just now. May you all have a great end of the weekend and a good week next week!
