pansies and violas in the window boxes

I couldn't wait any longer and this morning drove up to Slaughter's to find pansies for the window boxes. I bought some swiss chard starts even though I have seeds in a raised bed and in containers in the green house - insurance! Baldwin and Mindy can have any extras. I also came home with a few curly kale plants and a carnation. Dogs had to wait for me to finish planting before our walk to the river. 

I ate dinner on the deck; maybe a first in 42 years for March 11th (Andi's birthday!). Tomorrow night we will lose an hour to Day Light Savings Time - a slight disruption. A little over three weeks until Pearl and her people are home - yippee!
